CONTINUED FROM COVER STORY...

A police spokesperson said: “Death by dangerous driving investigations take a long time. They have to be thorough and take into account all the available evidence, witnesses and the associated enquiries”.

She referred to “the painstaking and timeconsuming work that has gone into this to ensure the right outcome is brought at court.

“When someone has died, possibly due to someone else’s actions, we need ensure no stone is left unturned. In this case there are many witnesses and other enquiries to take into consideration”.

In a written statement issued shortly after the crash, Sue’s family said: “All of Sue’s family and her many, many friends are devastated by the loss of such a loving, thoughtful and caring person who had time and understanding for everyone.

“Many words have been used to describe Sue in the overwhelming number of tributes that have been made to her. Some that keep recurring include fun, empathic, witty, warm and elegant, with a calming presence.

"Her unfailing love and dedication to looking after her husband John since his stroke in March and her determination to help him get better were inspirational”.

Arts funding is always the first to be cut Scarborough arts-development agency Create has called for the arts to get better support or face an uncertain future.

Looking back on the successes and challenges of two decades, director Wendy Holroyd says the biggest frustration is that arts funding is always the first to be cut.

“It clearly isn’t a statutory service so gets cut before anything else,” she said. “And yet people don’t realise the impact the arts in its broadest term has and what a bland, grey world we would live in if we didn’t have them.

“For many, talk about the arts and they think of galleries or theatre or opera. But the arts are also film, music, television. Cuts to the arts affect those things too, but people don’t realise”.

Creativity as fundamental to current and future technology, Wendy says.

“If you look to the future, art and creativity is central to so much that is changing and shaping our world,” she adds. “Think of computer games, artificial intelligence, virtual reality - art is fundamentally at the core of those things.

“I think some of the best art and creativity comes when times are hard. What we need are more people in positions of power who get it, who are passionate about the arts and the contribution the arts make to so much of our world. Things would be so much easier and better”.

Create has its roots in the late 1990s when the first Scarborough Arts Week events were staged to showcase local creative talent and give the arts a voice and leadership.

It was formally named Create in 2002 and became an Arts Council ‘regularly funded organisation’, placing it on a more permanent footing and enabling it to employ a co-ordinator.

David, of Lyell Street, says: “I assure you that any rivalry will be good-natured and that goes between Bill Chatt and veteran Green Chris Phillips as well”.

The 11 seats at County Hall are currently shared by the Conservatives (five), Labour (four) and Ukip (one), with one independent county councillor.

Dr Holland said he was looking forward to the challenge of supporting Willows Lull and other local charities, increasing membership, allowing women to join the club for the first time and working with other local organisations for mutual benefit.

Party buzz as Tour returns again Mr Kaye’s final duties were to present a Rotarian of the Year award to David Grisdale, a past president and Paul Harris fellow, who was club secretary for 18 years.

Paul Harris awards, in recognition of selfless service, were made to Mike Goode, David Oliver and Nigel Wood.

A varied programme of speakers and events is planned for the coming year, including the annual Father Christmas collection at the top of town. This was started in the 1950s and is a regular feature of the festive period.

Arts and culture were recognised as pivotal to Scarborough’s rejuvenation when the town was included in an urban-renaissance programme at the start of the millennium.

Dr Ian Holland, left, and predecessor Roger Kaye Last year, the club raised over £20,000 through fundraising events for good causes, both locally and abroad.

The club meets every Monday at 6.30pm at the Rugby Club and welcomes new members. For details, email David Grisdale at grisdale331@ btinternet.com.

Linda Tomczak and Keith Norris at last year’s fair at Dean Road cemetery

Words and photos by Dave Barry FOR the first time, England’s biggest festival of heritage and culture will take place across two weekends.

The 24th annual heritage open days will run on 6-9 and 13-16 September.

This is when the public can visit buildings, or parts of buildings, which aren’t normally open to the public.

In the Scarborough area, they include a cliff-lift machine-room, a mortuary chapel, a miniature-railway engine room, a castle and a former village prison and penfold.

Throw in a few churches, a museum, a cemetery and five guided walks, and culture vultures have plenty to pick over.

Built in 1881, the cliff lift near the town hall is a Victorian funicular railway from St Nicholas Street to the seafront (7, 9, 14, 15 Sep, 10am and 11am).

It’s operated by Central Tramways, which says it carries almost half a million visitors a year.

Besides having a peak in the machine room, visitors will get a free ride down to the seafront and back.

Visits must be booked by emailing centraltramwaycompany@gmail.com.

Website: www.centraltramway.co.uk.

The Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery are preparing for a fair (9 Sep 11am to 3pm).

Visitors will be able to see the mortuary chapel, restored by the cemetery’s Friends group in 2012, and a larger chapel, for which restoration is planned.

The fair will feature a WW1-themed guided walk starting at 1pm, information about

The centre, in Eastborough, boasts a huge archive of information on fishing and shipbuilding, wartime, churches, pubs, etc.

It is open from 11am-6pm every Thu-Sun. Four guided walks are in the open-days schedule.

Owen in Scarborough will explore the places that influenced war-poet Wilfred Owen, from his first visit on a family holiday in 1905 to the months he spent in the town from November 1917 to August 1918, before going to the western front and his death (6 Sep 1pm).

Organised by SAHS and led by Paul Elsam and John Oxley, the 90-minute walk will start at the lifeboat station and finish at Dean Road cemetery, taking in the south and north bays.

Places should be booked via www.eventbrite. co.uk.

The Rotunda Museum The Friends of South Cliff Gardens will give a guided tour starting with a visit to a private chapel at the Chapel House Hotel at 24 Ramshill Road (7 Sep 10.30am).

Visitors to Ayton castle, once a medieval fortified manor house, will be allowed in its tower (8 Sep 10am-4pm).

Chris Hall will give tours of the wider setting of the castle at 11am and 2.30pm.

The open day will feature mini-digs for kids and a display of artefacts.

Cayton’s 12th century Norman church bears ancient graffiti and a pendulum clock installed in 1947 in gratitude for no-one from the parish being killed as a result of enemy action in either world war (14, 15 Sep 2-4pm).

Visitors will be able to access all areas of the church except the tower, with or without a guide, but with a leaflet outlining all the A painting of Hunmanby in the 1840s

The second walk, organised by Scarborough Civic Society, starts outside the library (6 Sep 2pm).

It will trace development in the social, religious, literary and artistic life of the town.

This heritage trail will provide a glimpse of the medieval walled town, when the narrow streets were thronged with cowled monks, friars and European seafarers and traders.

It will give an insight into the days of sail and the men who built and owned the wooden, ocean-going vessels.

To book, ring Christine Hepworth on 368913.

Ayton castle

Hunmanby church

An information stall in Bayley Gardens, next to All Saints Church in the village centre, will have free programmes, a heritage-trail leaflet, a map and a quiz (10am-3pm).

All Saints Church, the large medieval mother church for surrounding villages, will be open for a few hours (10am-3pm).

A one-hour guided walk around the village centre, led by Dr George Sheeran, will start at Bayley Gardens at 1.30pm.

The White Swan is mounting a before-andafter display about the campaign to stop it closing, from 11am.

The pub was the subject of the Save Our Swan campaign when the owner, Enterprise Inns, applied for planning permission for residential development. Plans by SOS to turn it a community-run pub fell through but SOS successfully opposed the application. Then a private buyer stepped in and is renovating it as a going concern.

Three events are happening between 10am and 1pm.

1. The circular stone pinfold, once used to impound stray animals, and two-cell Victorian lock-up, nicknamed the black hole, at the junction of Stonegate and Sheepdyke Lane, will be open.

2. The local-history group is mounting a display at Wrangham House, a former vicarage which was home to the early 19th century archdeacon, literary figure and social reformer Francis Wrangham.

3. Documents, photos, other items from the parish archives and a mid-19th century oil painting of the village will be displayed at the community centre in Stonegate.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

13 years for violent assault A Scarborough man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for a violent assault.

old woman who tried to intervene.

At York crown court, Lee Terence Major, 37, of Princess Royal Terrace, also received an indefinite restraining order, for wounding with intent and assault by beating.

The police arrested him two days later.

Shortly before midnight on 30 June, Major entered a property in East Mount flats, Longwestgate.

His victim, aged 22, was asleep in bed.

Major used extreme physical force, striking his victim’s head with a mirror and causing serious injury.

The victim required hospitalisation at Hull Royal Infirmary.

Detective constable David Adams said “a complex investigation … secured a lengthy sentence which reflects the severity of Major’s actions and the injury and trauma he subjected the victims to”.

The conviction would not have been possible without the public’s help, he said.

During the assault, Major punched a 29-year-

Teenager on two rape charges

SCARBOROUGH was represented at a ceremony in France marking the 90th anniversary of the Great Pilgrimage.

Over 2,200 standard bearers and wreath layers paid tribute to the fallen of WW1.

Scarborough British Legion branch secretary Ian Temple said: “A spectacular twomile march through Ypres to the Commonwealth War Grave Commission’s Menin Gate memorial, led by 1,100 standard bearers, was the culmination of the three-day event which saw the 2,200 participants visit the WW1 trenches, battlefields and cemeteries of France and Belgium”.

Two representatives of every branch took part in the parade, taking their branch stand-

She had walked up Newborough and into North Street.

A flock of lambs has been stolen from a field near Scarborough.

The incident happened at around 3am on 12 August in an alley between the Black Lion pub and the NCP carpark on North Street.

The police believe she was followed into North Street by her assailant, who has been charged with one count of attempted rape and one count of rape. He is due to appear at York crown court on 17 September.

The police believe the thieves opened a gate at Riggs Head on Irton Moor Lane, near the GCHQ listening station.

The victim is receiving support from speciallytrained officers.

Big bill and red face for compo-man A man who demanded compensation after feigning injury from a footpath trip is facing a whopping legal bill.

The fake tripper claimed he was injured after tripping on a cobbled footpath in Scarborough in April 2014.

He sued the county council, which initially admitted the claim and made an interim payment of £1,000 - before realising that photos used in the claim didn’t match up.

They showed a defect that was not present at the time the fraudster claimed to have tumbled.

The authority challenged the claim, which was dropped, and applied to the court for a

finding of dishonesty against the claimant to recover its costs.

This was successful, but the costs weren’t paid.

The next step was a committal to high court.

Less than an hour before the case was due to be heard, a few weeks ago, the claimant gave in and said he’d pay the costs, which came to £9,696. The sum includes the £1,000 paid by the council.

But, to date, the man has not paid and faces court again.

The council has declined to name him until he has paid.

Petition to reverse Tec redundancies AN online petition aims to save the jobs of two Scarborough Tec staff threatened with redundancy.

“Although their fate seems sealed, if we all pull together we can do our best to fix this situation”.

Paul Nash and John Pattison have led music courses, with the help of Paul Tilley, at the college’s current site in Filey Road and at its former site in Westwood.

Online messages of support include one from Carl McCourt Sellars, who wrote: “These three men showed me not only how to teach but what it means to be a teacher! The difference they have made to so many in this town is incredible”.

The petition, on Change.org, reads: “The governing body of Scarborough Tec (Grimsby Institute) has decided to relieve them of their jobs.

“To strip the music course of these members is to strip it of its very foundations and in turn the culture that has been built over such a long period of time and the very culture that has pushed its students forward to great places.

Symon Elliott wrote: “I was a student in 2008 and spent two years with Paul and John (Jim was there too in 08). They are the best in their field. [It’s a] massive loss to Scarborough and up-and-coming talent if they lose the Ateam completely.

“GI need to stop cost-cutting and look at the bigger picture”.

Daylight robbery of woman, 83 AN 83-year-old woman was violently assaulted and robbed in broad daylight in Barrowcliff, Scarborough.

A man aged 37 has been arrested for conspiring to commit burglary.

The woman was injured and her purse, containing cash and other items, stolen.

It happened near the shops on Wreyfield Drive.

Detective constable David Adams said: “This was

a particularly distressing and nasty experience for the elderly female victim.

“I would appeal to any person who witnessed or has any information regarding this incident to contact the police”. n Ring 101, select option 2 and ask for Mr Adams. To do it anonymously, ring 0800 555 111. Quote reference number 12180143529.

The Scarborough branch was represented by standard bearer Bill Parker, wreath bearer Robert Owens and Mr Temple.

“We represented the war dead of Scarborough, which has 330 war graves”, Bill said.

Gus and Carol South of Kirkbymoorside travelled with Bill and Robert.

Following the ceremony, members joined spectators in Ypres market square for an afternoon of comradeship, exhibitions and musical performances.

£3,000 worth of prizes at Jamiversary £3,000 worth of prizes were up for grabs at the Jamiversary in Scarborough.

The annual event marks the anniversary of the opening of Hairy Bob’s skatepark on Marine Drive in 2009.

The prizes were awarded for style, good skatepark etiquette and positive attitude in four categories: skateboarding, scootering, BMXing and roller blading.

Participants’ ages ranged from 3 to 40.

It’s organised by young people under the auspices of the Sidewalk youth project team.

“The Jam is not a competition but a community celebration of the skatepark and its talented users”, says project coordinator Steve Blower.

“The response from community members was really positive and we're hoping to channel that energy into developing future events”.

The Jam featured structured sessions, semipro demos, DJs, freebie throw-outs, etc.

Sidewalk is hoping to celebrate the skatepark's 10th anniversary next year in style.

Cream tea raises a grand for age charity Words and photo by Dave Barry A STRAWBERRY cream tea raised over £1,000 for the Scarborough branch of Age UK. It was at the Montrosa home in Esplanade Road, which provides independent supported living.

It’s the most the annual event has raised since duty officers Allyson Murray and Louise France began organising it five years ago.

Staff run it in their own time.

Each year, manager Gaynor Loggie and residents suggest a beneficiary.

“We have had a lot of help from Alison Easton,

a community link worker with Age UK in Scarborough, so we thought it would be nice to give something back”, says Julie Pratt, who chairs Montrosa’s trustees.

For example, Alison helps residents with benefit cheques and gives talks explaining the benefits system.

Alison, who is based at the Age UK office in Aberdeen Walk, said all the money raised for the charity locally is spent locally.

The cream tea made £1,057.49, which includes £20 raised from the auction of a crotcheted blanket donated by resident Michael Robinson.

who live in Burniston, don’t have children.

AFTER a two-year hiatus, a Scarborough church has a new minister.

Besides St Andrew’s, Jo is also minister of Emmanuel St John Church in Falsgrave and Flowergate Church in Whitby, which are part of what the ecclesiastical authorities call the North Yorkshire coast pastorate. The three United Reformed churches have 150 members.

St Andrew’s in Ramshill has recruited Rev Joanne Clare-Young, who hails from east London.

Jo, as her friends and flock call her, had a scary, subzero initiation to the area.

The first time she travelled to Scarborough, the country was in the grip of the so-called Beast from the East.

While driving from Scarborough to Whitby, Jo got stuck in snow on the moors road for two hours.

Unchastened, she accepted the subsequent job offer and moved up north with husband Alex and Jack Russell Digger. The couple,

An ordination and induction service at St Andrew’s was attended by about 130 people, including the presiding minister and moderator of the Yorkshire synod of the United Reformed Church, Rev Kevin Watson.

The warm-up act was interim moderator Rev Michael Lewis, who raised plenty of chuckles by cracking a few well-timed gags before the serious business began.

was launched.

A NEW activity programme for young people is aimed at reducing anti-social behaviour.

They included football coach Robbie Hawkes, Simon Shaw of Scarborough Higashi karate club and Ewa Graczyk, who will teach gymnastics, acrobatics and street dance.

Gallows Close community centre in Barrowcliff has been given over £50,000 to run it.

The activities are aimed at low-income families in the neighbouring Barrowcliff, Newlands, Newby and Northstead areas.

Development worker Kimmie Avison says: “There are not enough affordable provisions for children in the area, which means there can be an increase in anti-social behaviour.

We aim to build confidence, raise aspirations and offer under-privileged children better opportunities”.

The aim is to provide a range of activities, including karate, football, gymnastics, acrobatics and street dance, for children aged 4-18.

“We will encourage volunteers and parents to get involved with the activities with opportunities for them to run the sessions at the end of the project”, says Kimmie.

Local people and organisations who will help run the classes gave demonstrations at the centre’s summer fair, where the programme

Activity sessions cost £2, with concessions for families with more than two children.

Scarborough is in one of 12 areas identified nationally by the Department for Education (DfE) to receive additional support to improve social mobility and help children and young people get a better start in life.

The £50,000 came from the DfE’s Essential Life Skills Fund, which provides improved access to extra-curricular activities, helping children and young people to explore the opportunities open to them and develop new skills.

Rev Joanne Clare-Young (to order photos ring 353597)

The fund is being run by the county council’s stronger communities team as part of its commitment to support communities to play a greater role in the delivery of services in the county. * A bushcraft course starts at the centre on 3 September at 10am. It will run every Monday and Tuesday. For details, ring Richard McGuinn on 07970 393241.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Your Letters Yobs on bikes were out in force DEAR EDITOR My lady friend and I have just returned from what should have been a wonderful relaxing holiday in Scarborough. It was not!

My lady friend has early dementia, bad arthritis, is poorly sighted and is diabetic. I am her carer. My health is not good.

Statute Law Revision Act 1888, the Highways Act 1959, the Criminal Justice Acts of 1967 and 1982 and the Road Traffic Act 1988.

Indeed it appears that most cyclists have no respect for even the dead. I refer to the many cyclists that use the Dean Road cemetery as a short cut.

Our holiday was spoilt by law-breaking, ignorant, arrogant, selfish cyclists who seem to think they have every right to be on the pavement and us law-abiding pedestrians should get out of their way.

But alas with all councils clambering to promote cycling, it seems cyclists can do no wrong.

Due to the very good weather, these yobs on bikes were out in force.

The consensus among councils, politicians and the police is: As long as the cyclists are all right, that’s all that matters. So much for law and order.

We spent the whole holiday having to look over our shoulders in fear of being run down on the pavement by these lawbreakers.

It seems that pedestrians do not have any rights at all. On at least three occasions, I witnessed police vans just drive by cyclists on the pavements as if it didn’t matter. The police, it seems, just couldn’t care less and can’t be bothered.

I remind the police and the law-breaking yobs on bikes that it is an offence to cycle on the pavement under the Highways Act 1835, the

Cyclists break the law all day, every day, and no-one in authority cares.

As I can already hear the wails of indignation from some cyclists that I cannot be a cyclist, well I am. At least five days a week, in all weather, on the road as a law-abiding cyclist.

Next time I visit Scarborough, I will bring my body-cam to record all these law-breaking yobs, as I do in Harrogate.

Keith Chapman Olive Grove, Harrogate

Old sea-mine restored DEAR EDITOR Regarding your story about the former sea-mine on Scarborough’s seafront.

We have been recently been made aware it is in a bit of a sorry state.

We have arranged for it to refurbished by a

local firm and the harbour office has kindly offered to paint it for us.

According to our records, the mine was installed in 1968.

‘Don’t vote for Futurist councillors’ DEAR EDITOR Regarding the destruction of the Futurist.

While the majority of local residents and many regular visitors did not want the Futurist destroying, most of our Tory councillors did, in order to replace it with a giant wheel which would be operational during the summer.

It was clear to start with that it would cost more than three times as much money to destroy the Futurist than it would to restore it to tip-top condition.

The Futurist offered excellent programmes all year round and was far superior to the Spa Theatre, which is also much smaller.

Now Filey and Bridlington are getting all the big name programmes.

I wish to remind all voters not to give their vote to any of the Tories who voted to destroy the Futurist at great cost to all rate-paying Scarborians.

Thanks from Seafest chair DEAR EDITOR This year’s 20th Seafest in the harbour included seafood cooking, maritime exhibitions, music, real ale, visiting vessels, etc, and brought together the RNLI flag weekend, sea cadets, fishing organisations and trusts.

Whilst bearing in mind commercially we try not to clash with other traders of the area, we as a group have to be self funding and rely totally on sponsorship and exhibitors’ fees but continue to link with the sea, both past and present.

I would sincerely thank the steering group team of Rowena Marsden, Bob Webster, Chris Burrows, Dawn Nisbet, Irene Myers, Karl Butler and Ryan Heath together with the tombola group helpers, performers, exhibitors and stewards, harbour staff and RNLI management and crew, Janet Deacon and Welcome to Yorkshire, civic amenities staff, etc.

A special thank you to the mayor and mayoress of the borough and Scarborough Review for their excellent coverage of the event.

Ryan our music co-ordinator, through Acoustic Gathering, once again brought together some excellent music over the three days. The seafood theatre, sponsored

by Scarborough Hospitality under the supervision of Irene and the leading chefs of our region, gave of their time to provide continuous demonstrations over the twoday period - sincere thanks to you all.

Thanks to the Maritime Heritage Centre

for their excellent exhibition, the Coble and Keelboat Society, the Jubilee Sailing Trust, Great Yorkshire Brewery and other exhibitors.

Also thanks to Rev Richard Walker and organist Graham Brownridge from St Mary’s Church for officiating at blessing-of-theboats service, complemented by the RNLI, sea cadets and representations of the Royal and Merchant Navy. Thanks also to Mal Nicholson with his HMS Pickle, together with HMS Example and Explore; and to the Yacht Club for showing people around the lighthouse building.

Our sincere thanks to all our many sponsors including the County Council Locality Budget, together with a special thank you to the traders of the south bay and town, the Chamber of Trade, hotels and residents for once again helping me with the sponsorship of our spectacular display by Phoenix Fireworks, which was filmed and projected throughout the country.

Not forgetting Imaginative Icing for producing the magnificent 20th anniversary two-piece cake, one of which was shared amongst exhibitors and volunteers with the main cake being donated to the Rainbow Centre.

We now look forward to the 21th festival in 2019 and would welcome new sponsors, exhibitors and volunteers.

DEAR EDITOR

DEAR EDITOR, A huge thank you to The Scarborough Lions for their very generous donation of £150.00 to support both myself and The Mercy Ships.

The Mercy Ships operates the largest charity hospital ship in the world, delivering vital, free healthcare to some of the world’s poorest countries. The ship operates in Western Africa and is currently docked in Guinea helping those from all over the country. Everyone that is aboard is there purely as a volunteer and so every penny that The Scarborough Lions have very generously donated has gone straight to the charity in order to fund the surgery, the medications, the patient care and also to support the volunteers aboard the ship!

With their donation, I have been able to help fund my volunteering visit for 15weeks to the

ship. As a Physiotherapist, the provision of rehabilitation is a HUGE part of the patient’s aftercare following their life changing surgery.

With rehabilitation, the patients will be able to obtain their goals of being able to walk, play, and obtain functional movement. This allows them to return home to their communities, be accepted and to lead a “normal” life without judgement and segregation. Without The Scarborough Lions donation, the charity would have definitely been short of at least one Physio. The Scarborough Lions do an amazing job fundraising for both local and International causes.

Thank You so much from myself and on behalf of The Mercy Ships!

Laura Blundell, Physiotherapist

We’d like to invite your more adventurous readers to join us on our Lake District challenge next spring and help save lives and rebuild futures shattered by meningitis.

They’ll conquer eight peaks, all above 3,000 feet, over two days. It will require energy, commitment and a positive attitude, but will reward those taking part with breath-taking views, wrapped up in a serious adventure and a weekend they’ll never forget.

There’s a great team spirit among those taking part and many come away from the challenge having made lifelong friends.

Every step they take will help us fight meningitis and move us closer to our vision of a future where no-one in the UK dies from this devastating disease and everyone

affected gets the support they need. If they know someone who’s had meningitis then this is a perfect way for them to show their support.

Registration costs £49 with a fundraising pledge of £500. Accommodation, food, travel and the support of a qualified and experienced mountain leader and safety team are all included.

I’ll be there to support them throughout their fundraising journey, from 2-5 May. Those interested in joining us can find out more at www.MeningitisNow.org or by emailing me at michaelai@meningitisnow. org.

Starting and finishing in Scarborough, Ben Davis ran up the coast to the northern extremes of the county, taking in the Cleveland Way then the Yorkshire Dales, the Humber Bridge and Spurn Point.

He set off on Yorkshire Day - 1 August - and crossed the finishing line on the south-bay beach on 18 August.

Carrying his camping equipment on his back, Ben, 31, tackled a landslide, fell in a river and scaled the highest peak in Yorkshire - Whernside - as he ran the equivalent of a marathon a day.

His spirits were kept high by amateur runners joining him for stints along the way.

Ben’s #RunningYorkshire project was in aid of Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm), which is dedicated to preventing male suicide.

He easily smashed his £15,000 target by raising over £20,000.

Afterwards, he said: “I can’t believe I’ve actually done it and I’m totally elated. This has been such an adventure, way more than I ever anticipated. I’ve got so many memories from the run that will stay with me forever.

“To say it was tough is an understatement and I can’t really put into words how my body’s feeling. I underestimated the terrain in some

places but I’m so thankful for all the amazing support I’ve received. The people that came out to join me on the route really helped keep me going and the amount of money I’ve been able to raise is just unbelievable”.

Calm chief executive Simon Gunning said: “We have been blown away by Ben’s challenge. Calm relies on the dedication of our supporters in raising the funds that allow us to continue helping men who are down or in crisis, and Ben’s approach to this challenge has epitomised everything that Calm is about.

“We’ve proudly watched him tick off the many miles while involving other members of the community in the journey and using this platform to share his own story. The energy Ben has shown towards suicide prevention is inspiring”.

Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, which supported Ben’s run, said: “What Ben has achieved over the last three weeks is truly remarkable and the toughness and determination he has shown is an inspiration to us all.

“He is a credit to our great county and I wholeheartedly congratulate him for not only completing this heroic challenge, but for also raising a vast amount of money for a hugely worthwhile cause”.

Lifeboat gets first full-time coxswain in 217 years Words and photo by Dave Barry

as a proving trial.

FOR the first time in its 217-year history, Scarborough lifeboat has a full-time coxswain.

Born and bred in Scarborough, Lee attended Gladstone Road and Graham schools.

Lee Marton, 44, has been an RNLI volunteer for nearly 10 years.

He spent seven years in the Royal Marines, becoming a coxswain of various vessels from RIBs to landing craft. A RIB is a rigid inflatable boat.

His appointment means that Scarborough lifeboat station is now one of a growing number of two-man stations dotted around Britain and Ireland.

Lee works alongside Dave Horsley, who is also a coxswain but employed by the RNLI as a lifeboat mechanic.

The arrival of the new Shannon lifeboat in Scarborough and the construction of a new lifeboathouse to accommodate it has brought a greater workload, which can’t be handled by one person.

Lee travelled the world with the service and left in 1997 to set up a building firm in his home town.

Lee and his wife Sue have two children. Their daughter Jessica is at the Sixth Form College and their son Jacob is a royal naval officer in flight training with the joint fleet arm, based in Dartmouth. Jacob was a lifeboat volunteer in Scarborough for a year or two.

Words and photo by Dave Barry

Lifeboat operations manager Andy Volans explains: “The workload, especially as the station is now a visitor centre, was getting too much and it was felt that the volunteers couldn’t be asked to do all the extra work.

AN energetic and tireless campaigner on dementia issues has been nominated for an unsung-hero award.

Tim Kirkup chairs Scarborough Dementia Action Alliance and acts as an ambassador and representative of Scarborough Alzheimer's Society.

“The technology has got cleverer and the new equipment, including the Shannon and its launch-and-recovery vehicle, requires much more maintenance and training”.

Both are voluntary roles.

Every week, Tim goes cycling with a young man with dementia and swimming with a group of people with dementia.

After joining the crew of the inshore lifeboat in January 2009, Lee worked his way up through the ranks.

He qualified as a mechanic, a navigator and then second coxswain.

He supports a weekly Singing for the Brain group and monthly activity cafes in Scarborough and Filey.

Working with the RNLI’s central fleet, he helped roll out the new Shannon lifeboat at stations all around Britain, training crew.

Tim has undertaken every training opportunity, seeking out information and support for those with dementia.

He has been an assessor trainer at the Scarborough station for two years.

He began questioning Scarborough’s poor diagnosis rate, among other issues, and is challenging decision makers to make changes locally to benefit those affected by dementia. Tim is a dementia champion and has created 1,845 dementia friends through delivery of 119 dementia awareness sessions

Lee has undertaken numerous passages – sea voyages – up and down the coasts with various classes of lifeboat including the Shannon and Mersey. His roles have included test-driving a new Shannon on what is known

across the area and to a range of audiences.

As a result, Scarborough is well on the way to becoming officially designated as dementia friendly.

Tim has been nominated in the v o l u n t e e r- o f - t h e - Tim Kirkup (to order year category of photos ring 353597) North Yorkshire County Council’s annual community awards, which attracted nominations for 64 individuals and groups.

The winners will be announced at a conference in Harrogate on 26 October.

In each category, the winner will receive £1,000 for their project, group or charity; two runners-up will receive £250.

The awards, in their fourth year, celebrate the county’s unsung heroes - the volunteers who make a huge contribution to help deliver the services that make their communities better places.

Universal suffrage stall wins top prize THE centenary of women getting the vote was celebrated by the best-dressed stand at the 20th annual community fair, in the centre of Scarborough.

Volunteers from Derwent Valley Bridge Community Library in West Ayton wore period clothing and held placards proclaiming Votes for Women, Deeds not Words and Stop Force Feeding.

They were selling books and home-made produce including honey, made and donated by library volunteer Alan Walker, chutney and jam.

Donations were accepted but it was more about raising awareness than funds.

The 24 stalls were judged by the mayor and mayoress, Joe and Margaret Plant, who awarded the £50 first prize to the library.

Second place went to Newby & Scalby Library and third place to Art Therapy Yorkshire.

The fair was organised by the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers.

Club president Tony Stevens said: "The weather was kind to us and all the stallholders I spoke to had a great time”.

On the winning stall were, L-R, Yvonne Quinsey, Pauline Bedford, Anita Cassedy and Julie Janes (to order photos ring 353597)

“It’s always a real treat on the day to see what each organisation does to attract visitors to their stalls, from terrific tombolas to creative crafts, with the odd surprise item, like magnificent marmalades to tempt customers to spend their money,” he added.

The event, known as Local Aid when it started in 1999, enables local charity and community groups to generate cash and awareness.

The charities and organisations which had stalls at the fair were Yorkshire Dog Rescue, Art Therapy Yorkshire, the Lions, Newby and Scalby Library, Derwent Valley Bridge Library, Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery, the Rotary Club of Scarborough Cavaliers, the Parish of Cayton and Eastfield, Oxfam, Mind, the Institute of Advance Motorists, Macmillan Cancer Support, Friends of Martin House, the British Legion, the Mayoress’s Community Fund, the Fair Trade Group, Age UK, Operation Christmas Child, the Rainbow Centre, Cliff Top Kennels re-homing centre, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Operation Christmas Child, Bradley House and the Ladies Lifeboat Guild.

MENTAL-HEALTH charity Scarborough Survivors hosted a Mad Hatters tea party in Alma Square garden.

Staff, members and volunteers, based at 9 Alma Square, used the opportunity to have a natter about mental health.

With one in four people affected by mental illness every year, the charity is urging people to talk more about it to reduce stigma and isolation.

The event received a positive response from those attending and there were some honest conversations about how mental illness impacts on people’s lives and the ways that this is managed.

Centre coordinator Christine Mackay said: “It was great to have our members and volunteers work together to organise and run the event, including making hats, distributing flyers, preparing food and most especially being there to talk to people.

Tea and cake on the lawn Words and photo by Dave Barry A garden party in North Cliff Avenue was the third of four events celebrating Scalby & Newby WI's 80th anniversary.

About 70 people attended including representatives of four other WIs: Wheatcroft, Burniston & Cloughton, Scarborough Seagals and Seamer & Irton.

It was sponsored by Scarborough Survivors so a caterer was hired and no charge made for admission.

The mental-health charity is working with NYCC Public Health to distribute grants to mental-health champions - people who volunteer to talk to others about their own experiences of mental illness.

It is based on Time to Change, a national initiative to reduce stigma by encouraging more conversations about mental health.

Survivors chief executive Andrea Woolcott, who attended the garden party, said: “I was honoured to be invited to speak about our work and the impact the anti-stigma project is having within the wider community. It was wonderful to see so many people there taking time out of their day to be involved in reducing the stigma of mental illness”.

“The main focus of the WI this year is to break the stigma of mental health and encourage people to be open and talk about

their issues”, said branch president Margaret Fisher. “Working with Survivors fits in well with what we are trying to do”.

At its annual conference, attended by a representative of every WI group in the country, the National Federation of the Women’s Institute stated: “Mental health matters as much as physical health. The NFWI urges all WI members to recognise the importance of parity between mental health and physical health, and take action to make it as acceptable to talk about mental health issues as much as physical health issues and to lobby government for better support for mental illness”.

Previous resolutions have referred to votes for women, the banning of micro beads in cosmetics and helping to abolish food waste.

“Never underestimate the power of the WI”, said branch secretary Anne Flint. “We are a mighty force”.

The branch has also celebrated its 80th anniversary by sponsoring three flower beds in Peasholm Park and having a lunch at Hackness Grange.

Branch members will be laying wreathes at St Lawrence’s Church in Scalby and St Mark’s in Newby on Armistice Day to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1.

“In spite of the wind blowing down the gazebo, we had an enjoyable and rewarding afternoon”. * An open day at Survivors on 10 September will mark world suicide prevention day.

It will feature tours of the resource centre, interactive mental-health board games, information and refreshments. * A Crisis Café is opening at Survivors on 31 August.

Funded by the Police and Crime Commission, it will offer support to those suffering mental health distress, at the time of distress or for those who are seeking to prevent the onset of a crisis, within a safe and homely environment.

Chief executive Andrea Woolcott said: “Weekends can be a particularly difficult time for those who become mentally distressed, as there is nowhere for them to go. The Crisis Café will provide a safe and welcoming space for people who may otherwise have gone to A&E or come to the attention of the police”.

The café will be open on Fridays and Saturdays, from 7.30pm to 1am, and Sundays, from 8pm until 1am.

Survivors services are for adults, aged 16 plus.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Church’s centennial tribute to war dead Words and photo by Dave Barry A SCARBOROUGH church is planning a tribute to parishioners who died in the first world war.

An open weekend at St James’s Church on 3 and 4 November will commemorate the lives of the people of its parish whose lives ended in the conflict.

The names of 51 men who died in WW1 are inscribed on the church’s oak rood screen, carved in 1921.

Most were buried in cemeteries near where they died.

An inscription running along the top of the screen reads: “To the glory of God and in honoured memory of the men of this parish who gave their lives in the Great War 19141919”. Although hostilities ceased in 1918, the war didn’t officially end until 1919, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

Keith Walker, a member of the congregation, has researched the histories of many of the men. They include: WN Hodgson, killed on the first day of the battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916, two days after writing a letter home.

Private Alf Appleby of the 20th Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers was wounded on 15 April 1917, died the next day and was buried the day after, on what would have been his 29th birthday. He is one of 100 casualties buried at Nesle cemetery.

Private Charles Robinson of the 18th Hussars joined the army in 1908. In the war, he was gassed and sent home, where he died on 14 January 1918, aged 26. He had a military funeral at Dean Road cemetery, with a military escort and bugler, his coffin draped with a Union flag.

John Lazenby, born in 1890, was a pre-war regular in the 18th Hussars. He died at home of shrapnel wounds a year after receiving them in Belgium in 1914. He is buried in Manor Road cemetery.

Private John Jefferson, born in 1883, worked for Powley tailors at 2 St Nicholas Street. At the outbreak of war, he was living

Malcolm Appleby points to the name of his paternal grandfather with his wife Kate and two children at 2 Ewart Street. He enlisted in the 7th Yorkshire regiment in September 1915 and was killed nine months later. His remains were wrapped in an army blanket and taken by comrades to a burial ground near Albert in France. It holds about 130 casualties, mostly from the first day of the Somme offensive.

Francis Ingle, born in 1893, worked at Drake’s butchers at 117 Falsgrave Road before signing up. He and his father Charles were privates on the Western Front. Francis served with the 1st Battalion of the West Yorkshire regiment until he was fatally wounded.

Charles was informed that his son had been injured and walked through the night to see him, but arrived too late. Francis had not only died but had already been buried. Charles found a cross and two wreaths of white roses on the grave, near Boulogne.

Sergeant Robert Leppington lived with his parents at 20 Ewart Street and joined the 2nd

Battalion of the Scots Guards. He was a good shot and excelled in many regimental sports, notably running, boxing and swimming.

He was twice in the winning section of his battalion for bayonet fighting and passed a Royal Flying Corps entrance exam.

Always one of the first over the top of the trench, he was killed at the battle of Loos in 1916, aged 26. His parents were given his service medals: the 1914 Star, the British war medal and the victory medal. At the time, they were popularly referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.

The other servicemen who lived in the St James parish who died in WW1 and whose names are carved in the church rood were William Anderson, Robert Atkin, John Brown, Robert Cartwright, Fred Cartwright, Ezra Cooper, Samuel Dixon, Edward Hebbron, George Hill, James Hinsley, Joseph Hunt, Joseph Hurd, Charles Lenton, Willam MacLaren, Walter Newman, Harold Nundy,

Mary Walker and Malcolm Appleby of St James’s Church at its memorial rood screen (to order photos ring 353597) John Posthill, Bernard Rous, Alfred Shepherd, AMB Stevenson, John Welbourn, James Welbourn, Harry Wright and John Young whose ranks weren’t recorded.

The men whose ranks were known were privates Stanley Bennett, Claude Brockwell, William Tipton Brown, James Dawson, Ernest Hebdon, James Smith and George Storey; gunners Frank Goodwill and Robert Swift; lance corporals Arthur Bland and Harold Chartres; corporal Harry Rogers; drivers George Priestman Brown and Harry Swift; sergeant Samuel Horsman; minesweeper Charles McNulty; second lieutenants Harold Bramley and Gerard Peters; captain Cyril Bramley; and lieutenant-colonel Henry Lempriere, DSO. The rood screen at St James’s Church also has the names of parishioners who died in the German bombardment of 1914.

Theatre company prepares for armistice centenary They have distributed poppy kits with wool and instructions to knitting and textile groups for them to get involved in the collaborative artwork.

A project at schools across the borough is exploring war poetry from the first world war to date. Pupils are producing written artworks and poppies for their schools.

Dawn said: “We will be making audio recordings of people’s reflections on the centenary, and what armistice means to them, which will be produced as a soundscape, available for people to access free online during November”.

Dawn and Lee are working with the British Legion and council on a lantern parade on the evening before the commemorations.

Illuminated poppy lanterns will represent military and civilian casualties of the conflict from the Scarborough area.

Words and photos by Dave Barry LARGE and poignant artworks will take centre stage in WW1 armistice centenary events in Scarborough, Filey and Whitby.

Life-size wire sculptures of WW1 soldiers standing on what will look like sprawling green fields of poppies will evoke the spirit of remembrance.

A theatre company has been commissioned

and funded by Scarborough Council to deliver a project entitled Stories of Remembrance.

Animated Objects is working with libraries, knit-and-natter groups, guides, cubs, scouts and other community groups throughout the borough.

Dawn and Lee Threadgold of the company have been producing fabric poppies at workshops in numerous public venues.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

You may remember me saying how pleased I was, on moving to Scarborough, to have professional football on my doorstep.

The same goes for cricket, first class cricket just up the road.

The annual Scarborough Cricket Festival took place just a couple of weeks ago, so here is a cricket-based tale.

BY JOE COATES

“First class cricket has been played in Scarborough for a long time."

GRANDPA was excited again. It wasn’t football this time. It was cricket. It was school holidays and Grandpa was taking young Freddie to the Cricket Festival at North Marine Road.

Yorkshire were playing. As usual, Grandpa was full of information and Freddie an interested listener.

“First class cricket has been played in Scarborough for a long time. Yorkshire first played here in 1878. Not at North Marine Road, though. The main cricket ground then was Castle Hill, in the grounds of the castle.” Freddie nodded. He had heard all this before.

“Most of the world’s best cricketers have played at this Festival: Don Bradman, Jack Hobbs, W. G. Grace, Wilfred Rhodes, Sir Len Hutton, Ian Botham, the list goes on. Every year we had the test cricket touring team against a World X1.

They all came: India, Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, Ceylon [now known as Sri Lanka], West Indies, South Africa.”

By now, Grandpa and Freddie were in the ground. There was a good crowd. “The record attendance of nearly 23 thousand for Yorkshire

against Derbyshire was in 1947. That’s before even I was born!” said Grandpa.

Freddie raised his eyebrows. “That is a long time ago!”

“Let’s enjoy the cricket!” Sea gulls were screeching around a little. The sky was bright!

The wind was breezy! “Ha!” said Grandpa.

“Bright and breezy! Cricket by the sea!”

Later that evening, Freddie asked Grandpa a question.”I remember you telling me about your favourite football match, when Scarborough beat Chelsea. Do you have a favourite cricket story?” Freddie knew Grandpa liked these sort of questions. Grandpa started his tale.

“Scarborough have always had a good cricket team, playing through the summer. There was a National Competition started in 1969 for town cricket teams to try to win, and the final was played in London, at Lords, the most famous cricket ground in the world. At their first attempt, Scarborough were knocked out in the first round by Pocklington Pixies, without a ball being bowled. The weather was terrible, so the game was decided by the toss of a coin.

Xmas fair two months before Xmas THE record for the earliest Christmas event is at present held by Scarborough Disability Action Group.

DAG’s Christmas fair will be at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church on 27 October, from 11am to 3pm.

It will feature various crafts and stalls, a tombola and a raffle.

DAG chair Ian Whitfield says: “We are really

excited about the fair and hope to see old and new faces.

“There will be something for everyone with a wide range of stalls”, Ian adds. “It’s a brilliant day for the whole family”.

Admission will be free.

The proceeds will go towards the charity’s work in the borough.

The weather was so bad, no-one was at the game! So they tossed a coin over the phone. The Pocklington captain called “heads”. It was heads.

Scarborough were out!

In the next year, Scarborough reached the fourth round. Better! The year after, they reached the semi-final. Getting closer! The following year they reached the final. And they won! Thousands of supporters who had travelled to the game chanted “Scarborough! Scarborough!” I wish I’d gone to that game! Next time I would! But would there be a next time?

Three years passed, with Scarborough failing to reach the final at Lords. Then, 1976, they got to the final again. I was able to go. What a match!

Dulwich, a London team, against Scarborough!

Dulwich batted first. Good bowling restricted them to 136. Seemed an easy target, but Dulwich bowled well, wickets fell, anxiety crept in. It was 70 for 4.Then another wicket fell. 70 for 5!

Scarborough fish fryer, Brian Pedro Rennard was still at the crease, and joined by Phil Hart, a Plaxton’s employee. Phil was in good form. He had done well in the semi-final. Phil had been 13th man four years ago when they had won the final, so he hadn’t played. Now he was in the team, batting at a critical point in the game, feeling confident, excited, nervous all at the same time.

“Brian we need six an over. Let’s go and get ‘em!”

The first ball was a jaffa, unplayable! The ball actually grazed the stumps, though the bails stayed on. It could easily have been 70 for 6, the bowler on a hat-trick, Phil out first ball for a golden duck, and a bleak outlook for Scarborough. Would the result of the game turn on that ball? It did!

“Come on Phil, you can do it!”

Phil managed to get off the mark and runs began to come! The batsmen quite quickly got on top of the bowling! Brian reached his 50. In the last over, Phil won the game with a massive six, the best hit of his life, in the best innings of his life.

Scarborough had won again at Lords, and I was there Freddie! So that’s my favourite cricket

match ! Now then! What shall we do tomorrow?”

It was easy for Freddie to reply. “Let’s go back to North Marine Road, for more cricket by the sea!”

© joecoates2018. www.northbaytales.com Scarborough went on to win a total of five times at Lords. No team has beaten that record. Many details in this tale come from Phil Hart’s book, Journey of a Yorkshireman “Ticket to Ride”.

Thanks Phil!

Eastfield respite facility Hospital charity shop closes will give carers a break Words and photo by Dave Barry

offers one-to-one or two-to-one support with full day support and waking nights if required.

The facility is called Kelly’s Place and is being run by Happy Futures, a domiciliary support provider recently rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.

Managing director Angela Fletcher said: “Concerned families made us aware of a shortage of quality respite care in 2014 and we knew something had to be done”.

At the opening ceremony, Angela paid a fond tribute to the late Gary Ledden, who owned the site and set up tenancies.

The CCG’s senior service improvement manager, John Turner, said: “It’s a brilliant facility that will offer exceptional support for an individual with multiple learning disabilities, while providing much-needed respite for their families and carers. They will be able to take time off and have a break, knowing their loved one is going to be well looked after in a facility that meets all their needs”.

Mr Turner attended the opening ceremony, along with his CCG colleague Nikki Henderson and Ali Wilkins, whose daughter will be using the facility; Liz and Jimmy Normandale, whose late daughter Kelly inspired the facility’s name; Pam Thompson and her son Chris Bannister, who will stay at Kelly’s Place; other people who are interested in staying there; and members of the Eastfield L-R, Angela Fletcher, John Turner, Ali Wilkins, Jimmy and Liz clinic team.

Normandale, Nikki Henderson, Pam Thompson and Chris Bannister (to order photos ring 353597) A NEW respite facility for people with profound and complex learning disabilities has opened in Eastfield, near Scarborough.

The bespoke two-bedroom bungalow in Burnside has en-suite bathrooms, tracker hoists, ample moving space for wheelchairs, a big lounge, a fully equipped kitchen and a sensory room.

It has been designed to accommodate up to two people safely and comfortably, for up to 28 days at a time.

The cost of upgrading an existing bungalow was met by Happy Futures Support Specialists, who are running it (£38,000), and NHS England (£20,000).

One of the two beds costs £39,000 a year, which is being paid for by NHS Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

Skilled support workers have been trained to support those with profound disabilities and complex needs, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Depending on the individual’s needs, the facility

Kids’ play in Cayton CHILDREN in Cayton have been having fun on new play equipment.

Designed for under-eights, it is on the green belt next to the millennium garden in Jackson Close.

The equipment consists of a three-seat swing set, a bright multi-play unit with two slides, a climbing frame, a spring seesaw, a safety floor and a flying-saucer dish for younger and disabled children.

The work was completed by Streetscape for the parish council.

THE LEAGUE of Friends of Scarborough Hospital has closed its shop in Hanover Road.

League chair Eleanor Paterson said: “The shop has been a great success but over the years it’s become harder and harder to find helpers.

“As our wonderful volunteers have got older, younger people just weren’t coming forwards to offer their time. There doesn’t seem to be the culture of community service that has kept us going over the years”.

The shop was in Northway for a few years before moving to Hanover Road in 2004.

“We had great success with the shop”, Eleanor said. “It was staffed entirely by volunteers, with no-one paid at all. Over the years, the League has raised over a million pounds and the shop has been an important part of that.

“Every penny profit has gone to help local patients”.

The charity, which has raised over a million pounds for the hospital since it formed in 1996, is changing the way it operates.

Eleanor stresses that the League’s work goes on. “We still have money in the bank and have always received donations and legacies direct.

“People enjoy knowing they can donate money that will either be well used at the committee’s discretion, or can be directed at certain wards, departments or illnesses, as the donor wishes”.

The League’s shopping list has included everything from bars of soap to wheelchairs, department refurbishments, heart monitors, a urology scanner, Alzheimer’s training for porters and sending nurses on educational courses. n To make a donation to the League, email info@scarboroughleagueoffriends.org.

Charity is “desperately short” of drivers A SCARBOROUGH charity is desperately short of volunteer minibus drivers.

The shortage means Dial a Ride is having to turn down requests for lifts.

In July, 35 requests had to be turned down.

Manager Julie Banks says: “It is something we try very hard not to do and something which can cause great difficulties for the person we have had to refuse”.

Drivers work closely with passenger escorts to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable journey.

Although there is no lifting involved, volunteers need to be fairly active and fit - able to assist someone using a wheelchair or carry shopping,

for example.

They must enjoy meeting and chatting to people and getting out and about.

A good knowledge of the area is an advantage but not essential.

Drivers need to be aged 25+ and have either a D1 category on their driving licence or have been driving for at least two years.

All staff must undertake an enhanced DBS check but there is no cost to volunteers, who are given full training and support. n For anyone looking for paid employment, it is a chance to enhance their CV and gain some experience.

Academy students’ 100% exam pass rate STUDENTS at a hair and beauty training college have achieved a 100% exam pass rate.

Young trainees at the Academy in Scarborough and Norton have gained technical qualifications

Nathan Day and Philippa Wright achieved distinctions in barbering

in hairdressing, barbering, beauty therapy and make-up artistry.

Many were awarded a distinction in the practical element of their courses.

They passed a written exam, a practical assignment and an employer involvement unit.

The Academy works with over 60 local employers to deliver City & Guilds qualifications.

Students have work placements and apprenticeships in the hair, beauty and barbering industry in Scarborough, Filey, Malton, Norton, Bridlington, Driffield, Thirsk and Whitby.

Lindsay Burr, who runs the Academy, said: “These technical qualifications test every aspect of our industry so these results are particularly strong. We are proud to work in partnership with schools to create opportunities for young people and with employers across the region to deliver technical qualifications and apprenticeships. This is an absolute credit to our fantastic team”.

The Academy is at 69 Roscoe Street in Scarborough and 23 Commercial Street in Norton.

Curious Roots

September 2018 - Issue 61

Scarborough Strata

BY HEATHER ELVIDGE

BY ROGER OSBORNE

This is a month when the seasons take turns.

Fresh winds and showers are distinctly autumnal, then the sun shines and for a few hours it’s summer.

Is Britain part of Europe or not? Does geology give us any guidance on the question that divides the nation?

The weeks of hot sunshine didn’t suit everyone, although butterflies did well. Many are still around, feeding on autumnflowering sedum, ivy, valerian and michaelmas daisy. Over-ripe fruit such as windfall plums, or a mushy banana, will attract some handsome red admirals.

This is always a tricky time for anyone who doesn’t like spiders. In the garden the stripy ones are busy spinning traps the size of dinner plates, supported by invisible lines that inevitably span the garden path. Indoors their cousins lurk in the bath, or suddenly dash out from under the sofa.

House spiders haven’t just moved in, but we notice them now because they’re more active. It’s spider speed-dating as the males — they’re the ones with the 9cm leg span — rush about in search of a female. Think before you splat: folklore says that killing a spider brings poverty on the house.

After the silence of August robins are singing again, brightening cool mornings with a short trickle of sweet notes. While we find this pleasing, other robins do not — the song is a warning to keep off the singer’s winter territory.

Great tits and blue tits are forming mixed flocks to go in search of food. They will stay together all winter, touring their neighbourhood several times a day, often with a party of long-tailed tits in tow.

Sometimes a male great tit will linger in his summer patch to sing his two-note song, a hint to other birds that it still belongs to him.

Starlings also gather in small flocks.

They jostle each other for the best perch, somewhere high up like a chimney pot, and mutter their whirring and whistling song.

At twilight they fly off to roost with other starlings in woodland or reed beds.

Other birds are embarking on much longer journeys. Swallows and other summer birds leave: our winter visitors start to arrive. The barking and honking of migrating geese, as they sail overhead in their “V” formation, is a poignant reminder of colder days. Don’t leave it too long to make that bramble pie or bramble jelly; blackberries become watery after a frost, and clear autumn nights are when frosts begin.

That’s one explanation — folklore has a more colourful take. When the archangel Michael threw Lucifer out of Heaven, the fallen angel landed on earth in a thicket of thorny brambles.

Around 10,000 years ago, if you had looked out to sea from Scarborough you would have seen land on the horizon. With sea water still locked up in the retreating ice sheets, sea levels were low enough to expose a huge area of low lying land. Doggerland, as it is known, now lies submerged beneath the surface of the North Sea, flooded by the rising post-glacial seas.

So at Michaelmas on September 29, the anniversary of his humiliation, Old Nick gets revenge by spitting on all the blackberries.

Michaelmas was a huge festival that faded away in the early 20th century, leaving a celebration gap between the end of summer and the festive season — a gap that Halloween is now striving to fill. Michaelmas marked the end of the year’s work on the land; it was a day for hiring fairs, livestock sales, and the settling of debts. Families gathered for a traditional dinner of roast goose stuffed with the season’s apples, served with gooseberry sauce.

All animals born at Michaelmas were thought to be mischievous, except for cats. “Blackberry kittens” were lucky, especially if they had tortoiseshell coats.

And in old weather lore, Michaelmas was a wind prediction day. Whichever way the wind blows on September 29 is said to be the prevailing direction for the next three months.

East flowing rivers like the southern Ouse, Trent, Humber and Tees carved a channel

If the Met Office is right we’ll enjoy a warm and mellow autumn, although not necessarily a sunny one. It’s true that September often ends with a fine spell. Not an Indian Summer — that happens in October — but a Blackberry Summer.

AN ornamental mushroom has been stolen from Woodlands crematorium in Scarborough.

It was the smallest of a cluster of three stone ornaments recently installed in the grounds.

It is inlaid with circular black discs for memorials to be inscribed on.

CCTV footage shows a car entering the grounds at 2.07am on 19 August and driving straight to the mushroom area.

The police are appealing for help. Anyone who saw the car or has seen the mushroom should ring 101 and quote 200820180087.

So there we have it. Britain is part of Europe but slightly separate; connected by bonds that run, just like the Channel Tunnel, under the sea.

BY SHELIA JOHNSON

Dahlias Dazzle This Summer one for you. This one looks like a water lily and is the deepest, purest red imaginable. It has also flowered continuously since the end of June. What’s not to like?

And if you don’t have borders but are gardening on a patio or in containers there are some options for you too to get to know this great group of plants. Trelyn Kiwi is a small white cactus dahlia with hint of lavender in its bloom. It’s ideal for a pot

Have you noticed how the sun’s been hurrying to bed, earlier and earlier? It’s no illusion. We lose four minutes of light every day as we approach the autumn equinox on September 23, the halfway point between midsummer and midwinter.

The Harvest Moon, the closest full moon to the equinox, falls on the 25th. In the night sky the summer stars are sinking towards the west, while in the north the Plough is approaching the position it holds during the long nights. Orange-red Mars, so brilliant this summer, will still be there to cheer us low in the southern sky.

Thanks to occasional finds by fishing boats and detailed surveying of seabed sediments by oil companies, we now know that Doggerland was home to a rich and diverse flora and fauna including humans – peat, mammoth skulls, spears made from antlers and worked flints are among the many finds.

Around 8,500 years ago melting ice caused sea levels to rise, cutting off Britain from Europe, though until 7000 years ago Dogger Bank was still an island.

Mushroom stolen

Someone gets out and takes the smallest mushroom.

You have probably known since schooldays that there was a land bridge between the island of Britain and mainland Europe. But this description implies a narrow strip simply used for getting from one place to another.

In fact Doggerland was a vast extent of land reaching from the peninsula of Jutland along the German and Dutch coasts to East Anglia.

The north coast of Doggerland was a series of salt marshes, lakes and rivers providing habitats for Pleistocene mammals, birds and fishes.

through the marshland, running northwards along the Yorkshire coast. To the south the waters of the Thames, Rhine, Scheldt and Seine cut through to create the English Channel. In between a broad swathe of land continued to connect southeastern Britain to the Netherlands and Germany.

ONE of the things I like best about being a Muck and Magic gardener is that I never stop learning. Somethings you learn pretty quickly as a junior gardener, that rain can sometimes be very wet and winter wind very cold! Every day when you are working with plants there is a new name to remember or a cultivation technique to grasp. As the generation before us would say when you stop learning it’s time to hang up your trowel!

This summer it’s fair to say that the plant of the season is the dahlia. The border in Peasholm Park is looking superb in all its glory and it’s a real achievement to be able to help take a rather dead looking tuber in February and turn it into something very special. It has been a good growing season overall for dahlias as we haven’t had the traditional rainy summer we are all used to which bashes the flowers and buds about. However, we have had to step up the watering and feeding regime considerably.

So what do you do if you haven’t got a garden the size of Peasholm Park and you still want to grow dahlias? Well, there are plenty of options to choose from. If you have a small amount of space in the front to middle of the border Ryecroft Yellow Orb will fill up that space nicely without being overpowering. It has a perfect circlet of pure yellow flowers as the name suggests and is very long lasting.

For the middle and back of the border Pink Jupiter is a spiky firework going off! If you like strong colours then Taratahi Ruby is the

container and will also cut nicely to be brought into the house. Park Princess is an old favourite which would also do well in a 12 inch pot on the patio. Remember that dahlias do require some attention and are not low maintenance but if you are prepared to invest a bit of time the rewards are endless.

Have a look at the Peasholm dahlias and see what you think!

The Scarborough Horticultural Society will be holding their show at Crossgates Community Centre on Saturday and Sunday 8th and 9thSeptember and, if you want to learn more about dahlias and suitable varieties for your garden, this is an ideal opportunity to ask the experts. The show will be open from 1pm on Saturday afternoon and 11am on Sunday.

This is the last call for anyone wanting a seat on the Muck and Magic bus to Harrogate Flower Show on Saturday September 15th.

The cost is £30 per person which includes travel and a ticket into the show. More details from Sheila at muckandmagic@hotmail.com Happy Gardening!

VIRGO

23RD AUG - 22ND SEP

A busy and tiring period on the work scene, but a very satisfactory period where finances are concerned. Specific gains should be made between the 8th -13th, and then again, between the 22nd and 27th. If there are any arguments about money, then do make sure that your voice is heard and do not make any compromises that might leave you out of pocket.

Relationships are fundamentally sound, but on a day to day level, there will be mood swings and it won’t always be easy to read a partner

or to align yourself with their thoughts and priorities. It would help if partners could be a bit more open with you about their inner feelings, but this is their problem, not yours.

All you can do is let them know what you think and how you feel, then it’s up to them to respond one way or the other.

A chance meeting with someone from your past will have and unexpected effect, making you think of times gone by, and causing you to wonder how your life might have panned out had you made different decisions a number of years ago. Don’t try turning back the clock, but learn something from your history.

LIBRA

23RD SEPTEMBER - 22ND OCTOBER

Romantic harmony is high on the cards throughout September, and you need to work hard at keeping it that way, avoiding the usual pitfalls of contention. It is human nature to want more than what you’ve got, but be thankful for that which you do have, and respond positively to any new romantic and sexual energies that come knocking on your door.

FOOD & DRINK • COWSHED Has got a new tasty menu

SCORPIO

23RD OCTOBER- 21ST NOVEMBER

More by choice than anything else, you’ll be throwing yourself into jobs and careers, deliberately putting affairs of the heart on the back burner. This gives you some time to breathe and examine your emotional priorities. Once you’ve made your mind up about a few things, don’t be afraid to act and put your ideas into action.

SAGITTARIUS 22ND NOV - 21ST DEC

With regard to family matters and long term plans and ideas, there is greater clarity emerging at this time and you’ll find yourself relaxing in the knowledge of where you’re at and where you’re going. A few red tapey situations may need your attention, but don’t feel that you’ve got to carry the responsibility for important family decisions all on your own.

CAPRICORN

22ND DECEMBER - 20TH JANUARY

FASHION • WEDDING WISHLIST Autumn / Winter trends • HEALTH & WELLBEING with Terry Anne Scholes

Capricorns (especially Capricorn ladies) are very good at putting their heads in the sand, but you really do need to rise above your ostrich impressions and start being a bit more realistic, especially when considering the alternative options for your long term future.

If you can do this, you open the door to revelations and new emotional insights.

AQUARIUS

20TH JANUARY - 18TH FEBRUARY

There are new moods of freedom coalescing round you and it shouldn’t be too hard to find the courage to do a few things you’ve wanted to do for a very long time. Ambitions are either attained or come one big step closer and you’ll feel that you are in control, heading in the direction of your own choosing. Interesting links with the USA for some.

PISCES

19TH FEBRUARY - 20TH MARCH

Keep in touch! Email: krystal@thescarboroughreview.co.uk

It’s very much a “wait and see” kind of month and you’ll feel that your hands are tied while other people make important decisions, which inevitably will have some effect on you. With this in mind, be patient, but do not be silent. You must make your

voice heard and be clear about your own needs and expectations. Some clarity found on the 17th/18th.

ARIES

21ST MARCH - 19TH APRIL

Interesting meetings between the 1st and the 7th change your long term career perspective, and also bring you closer to someone on an emotional level. Romantic aspects liven up your weekend evenings, but could be something of a financial drain. The 21st till the 25th is a brilliant time for putting new ideas into action. Stop talking and start doing!

MISS MOTIVATION

Dear Daphne, I just can’t get motivated to eat clean and lose weight. It’s something that I sit and feel guilty about every Sunday night after I’ve spent another weekend binge eating and not looking after myself. How can I find the motivation to want to do this for myself? Anon

Well, firstly you could stop beating yourself up about it. I don’t think there is a worse way on earth to spend a Sunday than regretting decisions you’ve made over the weekend. So you ate badly and now you feel rubbish. That’s totally fine. Sticking to decisions you make when you’re not hungry is a difficult road to stay on, and one that we all fall off of from time to time. The best attitude to adopt is this – okay I messed up yesterday, but today is a new day and I’m going to try my best again. Persistence is key with adopting new habits. Stick at it! You could be healthy during the week and naughty throughout the weekend and as for losing weight, do you actually need to? Check online to see if your BMI is where it should be and you might find you’re actually doing a whole lot better than you thought.

TAURUS

20TH APRIL - 20TH MAY

Although you’ll be fighting hard to rise above it, September will be a moody month wherein you’ll feel restricted by your own sense of limitation. Work projects at this time could be an absolute blessing if they give you something to focus on and help to lift your spirits. Relationships improve if you can do more to express your innermost emotions.

GEMINI

21ST MAY - 20TH JUNE

A new business opportunity comes knocking on your door and although you might be doubtful of its feasibility, give it some careful thought because this could be a real winner for you, with everything to gain and little to lose. A number of family concerns should be resolved at this time, especially any issues relating to health.

CANCER

21ST JUNE - 22ND JULY

This could be a wonderful period for new love and romance, but you will have to find the courage (a) to put your heart before your head, and (b) justify the need to be just a little bit selfish. This may cause some angst in certain quarters, but other people close to you must be made to see you for what you are, not what they would like, or expect you to be.

LEO

22ND JULY - 21ST AUGUST

Some applause and acknowledgement of your skills and achievements makes you feel good about yourself, and gives you the courage to be just a little bit braver, not only where relationships are concerned, but also on the work front.

No point in hiding your talents under a bush… make a noise and blow your own trumpet long and hard!

Daphne, I want to leave my girlfriend. We’ve been together for several years and she has got two lovely children who I have grown very fond TRAPPED of. The trouble is I no longer love her but have BOYFRIEND been putting off breaking up with her because she doesn’t feel the same way and gets extremely upset when I try and broach the subject. I always end up apologetic and feel like I am now living a lie. Anon Love can spring up on us at any time and yet we always seem surprised when it vacates the same way. I understand that you’ve built relationships with your partner’s children, as well as herself, and I don’t see why you need to cut off contact with them completely. It would be much less painful to see them now and again. Don’t be afraid to leave her. You can’t stay out of sympathy and deep down I’m sure she wouldn’t want you to either. Try and remain calm and kind when you break up but stay strong. The kinder the break up, the more chance you have of being able to maintain a friendship with her children afterwards.

Back to school and routines Health and wellbeing by Terry Anne-Scholes WHAT a wonderful summer we have had here in the UK. It has been possible to enjoy the beach and our beautiful coastline at their best. I have enjoyed time on the sand, paddles in the sea, fish and chips, ice cream, crazy golf, open-air concerts.

It is now back to school and a new routine for all ages.

Routines are important and a great resource to have for our health and wellbeing.

Reasons to have a routine:

Makes us more efficient

Having a daily routine reduces the need to make some decisions each day. This enables us to know what tasks we need to do each day without having to think, decide and contemplate. Look how easy it can be to remember after breakfast to clean your teeth before carrying on with the day.

When we create a personal routine that works for us, it allows us to develop good habits by repeating the same tasks to our benefit. Going for a walk after tea each day or visiting the gym on a regular basis is a great example.

While the routine creates good habits, allowing our full potential, the set patterns can destroy the negative bad habits that do not serve us well. We are able to slowly replace the bad habits to replace with more good intentions.

Be more proficient

Saves time

When repeating a routine, one can become better at doing things because you do it regularly. Practice makes perfect, remember. This is one of the keys to mastering any skill. Think of something you are good at and you will probably notice you became good at this by repeating it and doing it on a regular basis.

Instills good habits and breaks bad habits

When a set of tasks are done regularly it reduces the chance of procrastination. Someone doing a few minutes’ yoga or meditation on waking will begin to do this without too much thought after a length of time. Routine allows us to experience a flow to our day, reducing stress.

By following a routine, we free up time that would otherwise be spent on planning and decision making. The routine has predetermined our schedule allowing us to free up time. Time is such a precious asset.

Reduce procrastination

The secret to building good habits is repetition.

Spring Flowering Bulbs After the heat of the summer months has started to cool and the long lazy evenings are becoming shorter, (some of the extremely organised amongst us may even be planning Christmas shopping,) the last thing on anybody’s mind will be spring colour in the garden.

However, now is exactly the right time to start planning your tubs, beds and borders. Bulbs can make a beautiful addition to any garden, either in an existing border or planted in strategically placed tubs.

Many people don’t bother with bulbs because they think they are a nuisance and hard work, but bulbs will give years of pleasure without needing more than minimal maintenance. Some bulbs may need lifting seasonally, or you may just prefer to not have them in the garden whilst they are dying down.

Plant a number of bulbs into an aquatic basket (which has slits all around the sides and the bottom) and plunge the whole basket under ground, then they will grow happily and you can lift the whole thing later to move them. This also gives a greater impact when planting bulbs in clumps.

Good results Bulbs are also fun for children to grow, with some giving quite quick results. For example Colchicum

3.

can be grown without compost. Simply place your bulb on a saucer on the windowsill and watch it grow and flower. An old favourite for children is the Hyacinth which again doesn’t need compost: fill the bottom of a hyacinth glass with water and place the bulb in the top, as it grows the roots will come out and find the water. Crocus are another bulb with quick results, three varieties will flower in autumn.

Crocus Kotschyanus Zonatus, Crocus Sativus and Crocus Speciosus.

A popular present to give at Christmas is a planted bowl of Hyacinths. Narcissus can also be in flower before Christmas, but it isn’t just a case of planting them very early, you have to make sure that you have purchased the correct bulbs. There are varieties that have been specially ‘prepared’ for early indoor flowering. Hyacinth ‘Pink Pearl’ and Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue’ well known, Narcissus ‘Paperwhite’ are also prepared for early flowering.

It’s not just your garden you could be planning; bulbs are a great gift idea for friends and family. They come ready wrapped in boxes or bags so you don’t even have to do that. Amaryllis bulbs make good Christmas gifts and can last for years. So go down to your local garden centre today and take a look at the amazing colour range that could be flowering in your garden next spring.

New vegan cosmetics shop for Scarborough

By Jason Chinnian IN an industry that can be incredibly competitive and difficult to establish a business in. Andrew and Geoff Booker-Hall have done just that, with their own unique body cosmetic brand Green Donkey Apothecary.

Their funky product range is vegan, vegetarian and, of course, animal cruelty free. Both Andrew and Geoff label their products themselves, giving everything that personal touch.

Selling a range of skin care, body washes, bath oils, soaps, scrubs, and more, the business was originally available solely on-line, but as they have grown, additional space became necessary. When the opportunity of their own store presented itself at Spital Farm on the A64 towards York, it was a no brainer. The new store opened in June.

Inside the shop reflects the natural elements of

the products on sale, with exposed stone flooring and walls. In addition, Andrew and Geoff recently opened Green Donkey Apothecary Candle Cave at the beginning of August, at the same venue, where both businesses are booming, thanks to clever marketing and great products.

The business name is unusual to say the least.

You may well expect it to have some meaning.

But ironically it doesn’t. It simply reflects Geoff’s favourite colour and animal. The ‘Apothecary’ part gives it that ‘olde worlde’ feel.

Both Andrew and Geoff chose the entire ingredient portfolio for each product. This is where they have made their mark, choosing elements that are only vegan, vegetarian and animal friendly. They also ensure that no artificial preservatives or abrasives are used, which means you can buy with ethical confidence and still look and feel amazing.

So, for natural cosmetics to make you look and feel even better visit Green Donkey Apothecary at Spital Farm Craft Centre, Spital Road in Staxton 10 minutes from Scarborough or give them a call on 01723 584655. They would love to see you.

Some of the restaurant’s most popular monthly specials are now a permanent feature on the new menu, such as the Peanut Butter Jelly Time, I am McLovin (inspired by the Superbad character) and the Faltliner.

They are joined by veggie and vegan offerings - the veggie one tastes like a blend of pakora and onion bhaji.

Cowshed create their own burger mix using mince sourced, like all their beef, from local butchers Trotters.

Most burgers are gluten free and gluten-free buns buns are available.

The Calves menu for under 10s contains half-size portions of four of the main meals.

The beer-and-puds menu has an IPA, a pale ale and a bitter from Magic Rock brewery plus various ciders, all brewed in Yorkshire; new cocktails; and Cowshed’s classic chocolate brownie.

The burger bar seats about 50 at rustic, bare-wood tables.

It’s open from 5-9pm daily.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Autumn/Winter wedding wishlist Autumn is a special time of year to get married, think rich, warm hues, crisp weather, comforting cuisine, and you won’t go far wrong. We’ve asked the experts what we can expect to see this Autumn/Winteron the trend front, it’s looking good.

ONE | Autumnal foliage

“Foliage doesn’t need to be lusciously green. Instead, go for golden hues mixed with seasonal branches and autumnal, woody textures. These can be effective both inside your venue as well as backdrops for stylish selfies.” Explains Charlotte RicardoQueseda of bespoke wedding planners, La-Féte (www.la-fete. com).

01723 500340

The BEST in wedding entertainment TWO | Comfort food

Make the most of the season’s great culinary offerings: think berry-filled pies, stews, soups and so on. Informal sharing dishes are replacing the traditional wedding breakfast for modern couples and autumn is the ideal time to embrace this with a hearty meal such as Coq au Vin or beef hotpot.

Featuring superb sound and lighting effects.

The very best in professional disco entertainment for your special occasion, covering all tastes in music, with a spectacular visual presentation.

THREE | Capes

Mel of Rispin Couture in Scarborough has given us a heads up on the dress front too.

Capes come in handy as the evenings get chillier, which is just as well because they are bang on trend, too: “The idea of wearing an extra layer - we’ve got our heads wrapped around that, it changes the outfit, you can cover up in winter or

spring - take it off and disco the night away.

You can give yourself two or three looks by accessorising with layers.”

And for the overall trends to look out for?

Romantic and structured. Look for leaves in place of flowers and fitted bodices with bigger skirts.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

September 2018 - Issue 61

The straw men of Scarborough Local artist Dav White talks about the fascinating world of history, art and mythology

In 1865, permission was gained from Parliament to lay a railway line north out of Scarborough, connecting with Whitby.

of affairs. Vast sums of money were being banded about between the 44.

Railways had already connected Scarborough with Hull and York.

The corruption resulted in a great class divide between the few who lived in splendid opulence and the many who lived in poverty.

Scarborough had begun to open up with the first physical breaks in the parish boundary since it was established in the charter of 1256.

On 4 June 1832, when the Great Reform Act was passed and the old corporation dissolved, a great bonfire was lit in Newborough.

Peasholm Beck around the Woodlands Ravine area had to be piped underground for the railway to be lain and a bridge was needed to allow pedestrians over the line.

Forty-four straw men were made up by the people of Scarborough. The effigies were paraded through the town and with much celebration taken down to the sands and buried in a deep hole.

Victorian values were rampant throughout the country and great cultural changes were quickly occurring as a result of the great leap forward in engineering and industry.

A different mindset and attitude towards progress and industry were required as the great changes in the landscape and commerce began to occur.

But change didn’t appeal to everyone.

Local civil engineer George Knowles warned that rail links with the outside world would only encourage penniless vagrants to Scarborough and spoil this respectable and fashionable watering place for the aristocracy.

His xenophobia was mollified when he was assured by the rail board that all carriages to Scarborough would be first-class only, so no riff-raff would come.

Was his xenophobia genuine or was his fear of outsiders based on something more remunerative?

To understand this insular attitude, we need to keep in mind that the Great Reform Act, also known as the Representation of the People Act, had been passed by Parliament in 1832.

Scarborough was a pocket borough, a constituency with its MP chosen exclusively by a rich and powerful family.

Since 1356, Scarborough had been governed by 44 members of the Common Hall that became known as the old corporation.

Each member was chosen by fellow members, which meant its governance was not accountable to the townspeople. Each seat was a seat for life as all they had to do to stay put was to simply swap seats every now and then and ensure they nominated each other on election day.

His majesty’s commissioners, Fortunatus, Dwarris & Rumball, were appointed to look into Scarborough’s affairs and their report was damning.

The town was being run by a small group of aristocratic families which controlled its wealth in money, lands and property.

This was being carried out in isolation as the nearest substantial body was 40 miles away.

There was evidence of maladministration as, although tenant returns were claimed to be poor, assets were being sold off and corporation buildings were in a poor state

The old 44 would have been very aware that the town was making their likenesses for a parade and a public burial.

Effigies appear in a number of English customs and nearly all of them end up being burnt, buried, drowned or dismembered.

Guy Fawkes is the obvious example but the tradition occurs with other character such as Judas, Bartle, Cromwell and Jack of Lent, as well as dragons and giants like Gog and Magog.

The ceremony is part of a much older English tradition dealing with death and resurrection, which may have its roots in agriculture.

The making of a straw symbol marked the end of the harvest and the promise of the new one.

Chasing death out of a field, village or town with the help of a noisy carnival, the old time is buried and ensures the new time will start.

This remains a common traditional ceremony, played out all over the world.

A straw man is the name of a rhetorical tactic used in an argument. By misrepresenting or objecting with the intent of inviting criticism, to encourage an idea to be discussed and refuted, is the purpose of a straw man.

Another name for a straw man is Aunt Sally.

Most of us who watched TV from 1979-81 will be familiar with the programme Worzel Gummidge the scarecrow, or straw man, and his femme fatale Aunt Sally. Worzel’s demeanour was of testy, cantankerous rhetoric, resulting in mischief and argument, fulfilling his role as a straw man. His writer Barbara Euphan Todd was known for her dry and wry sense of humour, the hallmark of the bumbling Worzel Gummidge.

The only member of the old corporation who passed over into the new council was John Woodall, who became mayor in 1851.

The Woodalls were the great banking family of Scarborough. No badge of office is thought to have existed prior to Woodall’s mayoralty.

Upon his appointment, he produced his own chain of office, a ceremonial gold symbol.

After his mayoralty ended, he donated the chain to the borough. It is still used by the mayors of Scarborough today.

expert mentors.

A TRAINING centre for bricklayers, joiners and other trades has won a £400,000 award.

The site provides a one-stop shop for construction and housing employers, learners, parents, adults and referral agents wishing to understand how to access the industry and recruit locally.

The Construction Skills Village at Eastfield has been given £240,000 by the Community Led Local Development Fund and £160,000 by the York, North Yorkshire & East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership.

It will be spent over the next year on extending the training centre and creating a construction business centre on the site of the former High Eastfield Farm.

The money is the result of a joint bid by Northern Regeneration and Scarborough Council.

It is coming from the £29m construction skills fund recently announced by the Department of Education to assist in easing the industry’s skills shortage.

The training centre was established in August 2015 to address the shortage locally.

The partners want to ensure that a skilled local workforce is available to build the anticipated 9,000 new homes which the council estimates will be required in the borough of Scarborough by 2032.

The training centre gives people an opportunity to learn and develop the specific skills required for the construction and housing industries by working on a construction site under the guidance of

Northern Regeneration managing director Graham Ratcliffe said: “Our aim is to turn opportunity into reality for individuals wanting a career in construction and encourage the Department for Education to continue supporting our programmes”.

Art demo by proud Yorkshireman JOHN HARRISON is Yorkshire born and proud of it – as he will demonstrate to Scarborough Art Society on 5 September.

At his demonstration, entitled Less is definitely more, he will show his love of the towns and villages of the east coast.

He is a trained graphic designer whose forte is line and wash.

Starting at 7pm, it will be in the lower hall at Queen Street Methodist Church.

His early inspirations were Rupert the Bear, the Eagle, Dandy, Beano, Superman and Batman.

Refreshments will be served.

Guests are welcome, for a £3 admission fee.

Robert Goodwill, MP for Scarborough and Whitby, said: “This is just the kind of initiative we need to ensure that local people have the skills needed to take advantage of the jobs, particularly in construction and building, that are being created in our area. The country is crying out for skilled people and they should be home grown rather than relying on European Union workers coming here”.

Ruth Smith of the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) said: “Housing growth is a key priority for our LEP area because the lack of affordable housing constrains our economic growth”.

Trainers and assessors John Revill and Klaire Holliday are pictured with a group of level 1 and 2 apprentices, helping to get them site-ready.

Acting courses at library Over 1,300 daily go on show BUDDING actors are being invited to take centre stage this autumn, when Beach Hut Theatre runs two acting courses at Scarborough Library.

They will be on alternate Thursdays, at 7pm.

Sand Space: Classical Acting is a performance course that develops acting skills by looking at well-known play-texts (20 Sep-6 Dec).

Sand Space: Contemporary develops acting and performance skills through the exploration of modern practices (27 Sep-13 Dec).

Each session will consider a different element of performance, with a chance to undertake solo and group work. The work produced will build to a performance showcase.

Tutor and actor Alison Watt says: “These two innovative and exciting classes look at the many approaches to acting. If classical acting is your thing, come along and polish your voice and movement skills while bringing to life some of the greats from western drama and beyond.

“If you prefer contemporary, we will look at a mix of practices that include script work, movement, voice, music, plus both the visual

Beach Hut actors run through a script and digital arts”, Alison says. “Or perhaps you’d like to have a go at both and get as much knowledge and experience as you can to develop your skills”.

Alison, the company’s co-artistic director, has written for Soho Theatre, the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Hull Truck and EastEnders. She is an award-winning dramaturge, having won the 2016 Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Olwen Wymark theatre encouragement award.

The cost is £55 per course, with a 10% discount for both. n For more information, and to book a place, email Alison at info@beachhuttheatre. co.uk.

Paula’s dogs hang on café walls

Viv Owen and Adrian Riley at the exhibition (to order photos ring 353597)

Words and photos by Dave Barry IN January 2012, artist Viv Owen challenged herself to do at least one drawing a day, in small sketchbooks.

Since then, she has filled 42 books, which have gone on display at Electric Angel, billed as “the tiny gallery with a big heart”, in Scarborough.

The detail in the drawings depends on how much spare time Viv had on the day each one was done.

“Some days I had longer than others to do it so it’s more detailed”, explains the professional artist and art lecturer. “I sometimes use them to plan paintings”.

this is an intimate look into the artist at work exploring ideas.

“Viv’s drawings are portraits that have the fragility and urgency of a quick sketch and the arresting impact of pop art. We haven't counted them, but we think the exhibition features over 1,300 daily drawings”.

Viv, who lives in Queensbury near Halifax, and Adrian met when they shared an art studio in Bradford.

The exhibition will run until the end of October.

Electric Angel is in Museum Terrace, named after the nearby Rotunda.

Each day, Viv shares her daily drawing on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Flickr.

Adrian Riley of Electric Angel adds: “Viv’s drawings and paintings are inspired by massmedia imagery.

Paula Zimmerman with a few of her framed dogs at Walker’s café

Words and photo by Dave Barry WACKY portraits of dogs are bemusing coffee drinkers at a Scarborough café.

They are in the distinctive, instantly recognisable style of local artist Paula Zimmerman.

Large landscape paintings by Paula’s partner Steve Whitehead have adorned the groundfloor walls of Walker’s in Bar Street for several months.

Owner Andy Walker also took a shine to Paula’s pet portraits and commissioned her to paint one of his dogs - as in a portrait not a canine redesign. Then another dog; and another.

Then, by coincidence, the café’s first-floor gallery space became available at roughly the same time as a month-long exhibition of Paula’s work finished in Maidenhead. So the paintings went straight to Walker’s.

They are all of dogs. “I do cats as well - I’ve just done a Cat with a Pearl Earring - but I

generally prefer dogs, especially short-haired ones”.

Paula works from all sorts of images and has been known to stop people in the street and ask if she can take a photo of their dogs. “I lie on the floor to get the right perspective”, she says.

She likes quirky representations such as a bulldog crossed with Holbein’s famous portrait of Henry VIII, dogs as mods and rockers and a corgi who appears to be imitating the Queen.

“I get some challenging commissions. One customer wanted two dogs driving a Bentley and another wanted her dogs to look as if they were in the Steve Martin film Three Amigos”, she says.

An example of the interesting backgrounds is the early 20th century nursery wallpaper behind the large (4ft square) and arresting portrait of a French bulldog named Pierre, which faces customers as they reach the top of the café stairs. n www.paulazimmermannartist.co.uk.

The team is working with Manchester’s Family Gorgeous collective, whose Drag Lab workshop is for people interested in embracing drag - either as a performer or as a confidence booster.

The Drag Lab will be travelling across the UK, taking the art of drag to a wider audience.

Assistant producer Sally Ainsworth says: “We want to include men, women and teens, from the LGBTQ community and the wider community.

“We would love to find an array of stories, from the teenager who is just embracing their sexuality to a mum who wants to feel fabulous again, to anyone else who thinks they might benefit from the experience”, Sally says.

Drag artist Cheddar “Through the transformational process of drag, we want to tell their stories in a heartfelt and honest way.

Texas tell audience to get ready for Britney see Britney all her life and now here she was, just down the road from her home in Middlesbrough. She conceded her idol had never had a good voice and that it was made for the studio, not gigs.

It was a massive production. It must have taken ages to set up the stage, which was covered with big black sheets until the support act, US rapper Pitbull, wound up. A huge screen at the back flashed big single images then fragmented into multiple airbrushed images of the pop princess at various stages in her career. All very high-tech.

Britney was joined by a troupe of megafit young men and women, mostly wearing about as little as she was. We became well acquainted with her prize assets. My companion felt part of a bygone era of emancipation and thought we’d moved on from this kind of thing; plainly not.

THE party atmosphere was almost tangible at Britney Spears’ eagerly anticipated show at Scarborough's Open Air Theatre.

The diva, who was staying at Hackness Grange, seemed a tad short on selfconfidence, pausing every now and then with a slightly insecure, nervous, un-airbrushed look on her face. At one point, she asked if anyone wanted to dance with her on stage.

A strong-looking guy with a broad back was hauled out of the audience. Lackeys strapped him into a sequinned harness and pushed him onto his hands and knees to crawl across the stage in front of Britney, who was holding the lead.

They seemed to be mostly women of a certain age, about the same as Britney at a guess, having grown older to the soundtrack of her hits. Most, at first hearing, sounded identical.

At least she didn’t ask where she was, like she did at her first UK gig in Brighton a couple of weeks earlier. The dog scene was her only interaction with the audience.

Call me old-fashioned but I disapprove of miming at live performances, as Britney is wont to do on account of throwing most of her energy into prancing about.

It was great to see so many people having a ball, despite the rain, and it was clearly a big boost for the local economy as lots of people had travelled a long way and were staying overnight, drinking nearby boozers like the

Cheeky Wegie Sharleen Spiteri of Texas

She was rather cheeky, pretty crude, very funny and unmistakably Glaswegian.

It was the first time she’d been back to Scarborough since a school visit in the 70s, indulging in her first drinking session, she confided.

At one point after dark, while singing In Demand, she asked everyone to wave their phone-torches; it was quite a spectacle. How things have moved on from lighters.

Playing a green Fender and wearing a T-shirt that read ‘Apple bonkers - eat me deadly’, the cocky Wegie joked: “You’ve gotta get yourselves ready for Britney!”

The audience wave their phone torches * Promoters Cuffe and Taylor say over 90,000 tickets were sold for the 16 shows and that four (Britney, Lionel Ritchie, Bastille, Gary Barlow) sold out. The venue capacity is 8,500, so an average of 4,666 people watched the other 12 shows. * A 50-second phone-torches film is on Youtube; search for Texas in Scarborough.

Band celebrates half-century with a free concert Words and photos by Dave Barry

anniversary.

SCARBOROUGH Concert Band is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a free concert at Westborough Methodist Church on 8 September, at 7.30pm.

Just two members, both clarinetists, remain from the TA days: Malcolm, who succeeded Alan as conductor in 2003, and Mike Pickard.

The musicians are busy rehearsing the programme which includes a selection from Disney films, South Pacific, The Lion King and other pieces.

The band will be rejoined by several exmembers as guests.

No charge will be made for admission but donations will be accepted to help buy new music.

The band’s half-century celebrations include four concerts for local charities.

The first two were for Scarborough Survivors and the Rainbow Centre.

The next two are for Willows Lull in October and Independent Domestic Abuse Service in December.

Unlike other local bands, Scarborough Concert Band has a military configuration which includes woodwind and reed instruments as well as brass and percussion.

This gives the band a greater range of musical textures and colours, enabling it to tackle a remarkably wide range of pieces.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

Over the last 50 years, the band has raised thousands of pounds for local charities.

It has around 45 members, 12 of whom are young musicians.

It remains the only adult community wind band in the area, Malcolm says.

“We are a non-selective band, actively encouraging young players to use us as a halfway house between school music groups and the wider adult band world.

“We are proud that many return during university and college holidays, having joined bands and orchestras across the country.

We are totally self-supporting and have been grateful to local organisations who have donated funds to us to enable the band to continue, in our 50th year”. * Any musicians who would like to join the band should attend one of its weekly rehearsals at the Undercroft in St James’s Church, at the junction of Valley Road and Seamer Road, at 7.30pm Wednesdays.

“The military band line-up stems from our historic roots with the army,” explains conductor Malcolm Appleby.

Photography, art and fantasy mingle at WEA NEW courses at Woodend and a fantasy film at the Stephen Joseph Theatre are among the Workers Educational Association’s Scarborough offerings this autumn.

The team of WEA tutors has been joined by photographer Tony Bartholomew, whose eight-week digital photography course begins on 3 October, at 7pm.

Tony, whose work has been used in every national newspaper in the UK as well as publications such as the Washington Post and the New York Times, says: “Each week we’ll explore a different aspect of photographic discipline, from portraiture, landscape and nature to abstract and art.

“We’ll look at photographic techniques, digital editing and workflow techniques.

From compact cameras through to high-end DSLR, the emphasis will be on personal skills development, ways of seeing and capturing, and improving the quality and interest of your images”.

Artist and WEA tutor Ruth Collett is running 10-week courses on female artists from 1910-45, to mark the centenary of women’s suffrage.

Two practical, hands-on drawing and painting courses start on 26 September. They will allow students to develop techniques in painting figures, buildings and machinery, and try out painting and design styles. They can enrol on the morning class (10am) or the afternoon session (1.30pm).

An art history and appreciation course will

study the artists who recorded the suffrage movement, women at work and official war artists.

Painting and design styles, at home and abroad, and the role of art in politics will be explored. The course starts at 10am on 27 September.

WEA film-studies tutor George Cromack will introduce a screening of Pan’s Labyrinth, a dark fantasy from The Shape of Water director Guillermo del Toro, at the SJT at 7.45pm on 18 September.

It ties in with the evening course Silver Screen Mavericks: from Actors to Directors and Beyond, beginning on 24 September at the SJT. Students will revisit, rediscover, explore and discuss a varied selection of films. All involve actors, directors and musicians who, by doing their own thing their own way, make their work distinctive, either as pioneers or rebels.

This friendly and accessible course will range from the other-worldly cinematic vistas of del Toro and the landmark 1902 silent classic A Trip to the Moon to the groundbreaking electronic score accompanying Chariots of Fire and the charismatic on-screen cool of the rat pack at the height of their power in the original Ocean’s 11.

Pan’s Labyrinth is open to all. To book, ring 370541. n For full information and enrolment on WEA courses, visit www.wea.org.uk, call 0300 303 3464 or pick up a brochure from the library. Courses are free to those in receipt of means-tested benefits.

In 1961, the ensemble became 4/5 Battalion of the Green Howards TA Band, led by Alan Horton.

Many of the founder members were trained Royal Marine musicians who had settled in Scarborough during the second world war.

The TA supported the band until 1968, when it fell victim to TA reorganisation.

Rather than give up playing, the performers decided to continue as a self-financing civilian band and adopted its present name. That’s why the band is celebrating its 50th not 60th

Americana and Tales of misfit monarchs country-rock at Woodend and demigod divas

AMERICANA exponents from North Carolina, Oregon and Tennessee are to play at Woodend in Scarborough in September.

The Honeycutters return to Woodend after a sell-out show last year (4 Sep £12).

The North Carolina roots-rockers play a mash-up of Americana, bluegrass, folk and honky tonk.

10 previous records.

Another songwriter in the vagabond, troubadour tradition, he's a master storyteller and songwriter, Chris says.

Nashville guitarist Dave support Stephen.

MISFIT monarchs and demigod divas come under scrutiny in a new series of Tuesday lunchtime lectures in the Sitwell library at Woodend, Scarborough.

Tim Tubbs begins with a quartet entitled Unfit to Rule - Misfit Monarchs.

The hereditary principle can work well, but falls down badly when a royal heir is temperamentally unsuited, unhappy or simply unfit to rule. Such misfit monarchs are among history’s most tragic figures.

They are led by master songwriter and lyricist Amanda Anne Platt.

Promoter Chris Lee pitches her “gorgeous, heartache-drenched voice somewhere between Loretta Lynn and Sheryl Crow”.

Tim will talk about four reluctant rulers, three of whom came to violent ends: Edward II, deposed and murdered in 1327 after a disastrously corrupt and inept reign (4 Sep); Ludwig II of Bavaria, Wagner’s patron, who retreated into a chivalric dream-world in the fantasy castles he built, before being deposed and mysteriously drowned in 1886 (11 Sep); Ananda, Thailand’s reluctant boyking who was mysteriously shot dead in a 1946 accident (18 Sep); and Edward VIII, whose 1936 abdication drew a sigh of relief from an Establishment who feared him unfit to reign (25 Sep).

Oregon’s John Craigie (27 Sep £10) is a “troubadour in the style of Woody Guthrie and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott”, Chris says.

It will be his first visit to the area.

He is best known for his storytelling, sense of humour and poignant songwriting, Chris adds.

Surf-folkie Jack Johnson was so impressed he invited John to open for him on his recent US tour.

After a terrific and well-received slot at Filey’s folk festival last year, Chris couldn't wait to snap up Stephen Simmons, from Tennessee (30 Sep £10).

He will showcase songs from his new album Gall, released in July, and a selection from his

In October, Carolyn Soutar will draw on her career in opera management with four entertaining talks about divas.

From the Latin dio for god, divas and divos came into their own in 19th century opera.

The diva was usually the soprano star.

Carolyn’s subjects are Barbarja, a womanising 19th century opera impresario (2 Oct); Callas, Gigli and Caruso, 20th century operatic megastars (9 Oct); Roman emperor Nero, the matricidal arts lover and untalented singer who was supposed to have ‘fiddled while Rome burnt’ (16 Oct); and backstage tales and anecdotes of the bad

The Honeycutters

It has a long title: A Rehearsal of the Life and Death of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.

By Jenny Hill, it was first performed at Woodend on 19 May. The production has lute songs from the Tudor period, by Dowland and others from Elizabeth I’s circle.

It’s set in 1624, when a lutenist and a singer are preparing a concert to mark the publication of a book, Honour in his Perfection by Gervase Markam, dedicated to the Earl of Essex.

Although the earl was executed for treason aged 36 over two decades earlier, the heroworship that existed during his lifetime continued; he had a huge posthumous following.

The play is about the eventful life of his years at court and later as a soldier, his sometimes stormy relationship with the queen and the tragedy of his early death.

behaviour that makes a true diva (23 Oct).

Tim returns in November and December with a series of talks about murderous medics.

The season ends with the traditional Yuletide Tales of Christmas readings by Tim and Carolyn, with spiced wine and seasonal nibbles (11 Dec).

The one-hour lectures, starting at 1pm, cost £5 (seniors £4) or £15 for four (£12 concessions) and can be booked by ringing 384500. Booking is recommended.

Simon Nisbett, who became a licentiate of Trinity College, London, in the early 80s and taught guitar in schools in the south-east for many years. He has always loved early music and made the lute his first instrument some 10 years ago. He has been performing with Jenny as Merry Melancholy for two years.

The panelled library at Woodend, former home of the Sitwells, has a Tudor feel and makes the perfect setting for this story of romance, intrigue and tragedy. Edith Sitwell researched and wrote extensively about Elizabeth I and her court, including the Earl of Essex.

The performance is due to begin at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £10 and can be booked at the venue or by ringing 384500. n For further information, go to www. woodendcreative.co.uk, merrymelancholy. co.uk and www.facebook.com / tudorsong.

ACOUSTIC-ROCKERS Circa 15 are playing at the first of three open-mic cabaret sessions at Woodend on 7 September.

Guitarist Hugh Stanway and vocalist Taran Fox, both aged 15, have a fresh, explosive and irresistible rock sound.

They recently won a hotly contested Battle of the Acts competition, entitling them to a performance at Cloughton’s Headland festival on 25 August.

Channelling 60 years of rock, blues and Americana, they cover tracks by Mumford & Sons, among others, plus original material.

Joe Coates releases book number nine

BY JOE COATES REVIEW’S Scarborough Tales writer Joe Coates has been writing North Bay Tales for nearly ten years. This series was inspired by the childminding work of his wife, Margaret, who was a season ticket holder, taking the children she looked after for a train ride several days a week.

The stories are based at North Bay Railway, the largest miniature railway in the country.

The first book, the Teddy Bears’ Picnic at North Bay Railway, paved the way for future stories: A Birthday Surprise, A Santa Special to Remember, Donkey Alert!, Percy the Cat, Jake and a Snake, The New Steam Engine, and Tunnel Trouble, all at North Bay Railway.

The early books contained illustrations, drawn

by Bob Atkinson, while more recent books are full of photographs of the railway and its extra facilities, which enhance the telling of the tales.

Local photographer Bernard Dixon contributes the main images.

The books, aimed at children up to the age of seven, feature endearing characters, while the main character continues to be the miniature train ride itself.

All five engines are featured in the various books; Neptune, Triton, Poseidon, Robin Hood, and the steam engine Georgina. Unlike Thomas the tank engine, these engines do not chat with each other

The Cover of the latest release or get up to mischief. They simply pull the train, yet everyone has their own favourite. The child can relive their own ride on the train through reading the tales, or having the tale read to them.

The latest book, A New Driver’s Cap at North Bay Railway, book 9 in the series, is available from the author and from the railway’s ticket office. n Further information available from www.northbaytales.com and www.info@nbr.org.uk

Environmental theme for exhibition AN EXHIBITION based on plastic pollution opens at Scarborough Art Gallery on 15 September.

Four local artists have worked with man-made materials collected on beaches by members of the public.

Using the foraged materials, they produced artwork inspired by the seascapes depicted in the gallery’s collection.

Scarborough Museums Trust used a £2,500 from Proudfoot’s to commission Kane Cunningham, Rachel Messenger, Justin DL and Janet White.

The supermarket company raised the money from the sale of 5p carrier bags.

As a coastal town, the environmental problems unrecycled plastic causes to the sea is particularly relevant to the people of Scarborough.

As well as focusing on the environmental issues raised, the trust is hoping the exhibition will

become a community project, highlighting local people’s pride in protecting the town’s beautiful coastline.

The trust’s collections manager Jennifer Dunne said: “The recycling issues that prompted the introduction of charges for plastic bags and the environmental problems facing our seas due to rising plastic pollution made us reconsider how to approach our next exhibition”.

Proudfoot director Valerie Aston added: “Despite seeing a huge decline in the sale of carrier bags in our stores, following the introduction of the 5p charge, we were delighted that the funds raised from the remaining carrier bags bought by customers are able to support some fantastic local causes”.

The exhibition, ScarboroArt, is free with a £3 annual pass and free for under 18s.

It will run until 6 January.

Opera buffs promote jazz festival in Italy Words and photo

Whalebones and fossils at nature event in park Words and photos by Dave Barry FOSSILS and a whale’s vertebra and rib were displayed at a nature event at Falsgrave Park in Scarborough.

It was attended by about 200 people including a few visitors.

“More than half were children”, says Dorothy Russell of the park’s Friends group, which organised it.

The fossils stand was manned by Stuart Swann, who chairs the North East Yorkshire Geology Trust and is on the Friends committee.

He said the fossils were all from the Yorkshire coast. The oldest, about 185m years old, were from Staithes. The youngest were 85m-year-old sponges from Dane’s Dyke, near Bridlington.

In between were dinosaur footprints and plant fossils, which were about 165m years old, from Scarborough and Cayton Bay. Stuart recommended fossil hunters to visit the 6ft-high wall on Marine Drive in Scarborough, between the old tollhouse and the skatepark. “It is full of fossils - sponges, oysters, cockles, sea urchins, etc”.

Among the young fossil hunters were Sarah Dockerty and her sons Tyler, 9, and Luca, nine months, of Harcourt Avenue, Thomas Almond,

10, of Harcourt Avenue, and Thomas Richardson, 9, of Milton Avenue.

“They’re all into fossils”, said Sarah. “We go hunting them down at Scalby Mills”.

Among the items displayed by Chris Wright of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Living Seas Centre

at Flamborough were a vertebrae and rib of a minke whale which had been washed up at North Landing in Flamborough. * The Friends of Falsgrave Park’s next events include a daft-dog show on 15 September and a fancy-dress Halloween party on 31 October.

Sad tale at Ravenscar Church summer

school for youngsters

AN exhibition of embroidery, beads and needlework accessories can be seen in Ravenscar from 13-16 September.

Organised by Scarborough Stitchers, it will be at the Ingrid Flute gallery in St Hilda’s Church.

It incorporates a Victorian tale of discovery, charm and sadness.

One of the stitchers, Jenny Harper, bought an antique wooden needlework box with an attractive marquetry design.

She was intrigued by the label inside the lid.

It said Elizabeth Clayburn had been awarded the box as a school prize.

churchgoers, parishioners and others.

YOUNG children took part in a church summer school on Scarborough’s South Cliff.

The church is next door to St Martin’s School, which all but one of the cast attend.

St Martin’s and St Michael’s churches, which are in the same parish, teamed up to put on a show at the culmination of the school.

Elizabeth Clayburn’s needlework box

Jenny decided to see if she could find out more and discovered that Elizabeth was born in 1875. She was one of six children in a working-class weavers family from Bradford.

Consulting a Bradford newspaper archive, she was shocked to read that Elizabeth drowned in the Leeds and Liverpool canal in 1906.

She never moved from the area and never married, but was bright enough to become a book-keeper for a local firm.

The exhibition runs from 10am to 4pm each day.

Jenny managed to follow her life until the 1911 census when Elizabeth no longer appeared.

Words and photos by Dave Barry

Staged in the hall of St Michael’s Church in the old Filey road, it was enjoyed by

A cast of 18, aged 5-11 years, was directed

by Mike Bortoft, who does guided tours at St Martin’s Church.

“The theme this year was Daniel in the lions’ den”, said one of the organisers, Denise Baines.

A fuller story will be told at the exhibition.

A £2 admission charge will be made to help with the church’s struggling finances.

Charity gig raises £1,335 AN annual charity gig by a Scarborough band raised £1,335 for MacMillan nurses.

The band, Nearly Famous, have recorded a CD featuring guest artists Anna Shannon, Roy Piper, Dave Brown, Dave Cook and Paul Garbutt, who joined them at the gig.

Nearly Famous invited him to join them as a guest guitarist at last year’s gig; it was his last performance.

The band is made up of members of groups which were popular in Scarborough in the 60s and 70s.

A musical tribute was paid by band member Pete Liley to Mick Hill, who died shortly after last year’s gig.

Paul Murray was the DJ and compere.

Mick was a well-known local guitarist who played with Jonty and the Strangers in the 1960s and Hamps Tramps later on.

Plans for next year’s gig are already being made.

The gig was at the Roscoe Rooms in Roscoe Street.

Of schools, trams and poetry SCARBOROUGH primary schools are being encouraged to enter a competition for national poetry day on 4 October.

Children aged 5-11 are being invited to share their summer holiday stories in verse and win prizes for themselves and their schools.

The competition is being run by the Central Tramway as part of an initiative to reach out to local schools.

The poem could be about a day out in Scarborough over the summer or a trip on the tram, whose upper station is near the town hall.

Businesses and attractions have donated prizes: a family day out at the castle, tickets for the Stephen Joseph Theatre and FlamingoLand, a £40 voucher for the Cat’s Pyjamas café (next to the tram station), gifts and book tokens from the tram company and, for the winning school, a £100 voucher for sports equipment from Sponsor Sport GB. The judge will be Felix Hodcroft of Scarborough Poetry Workshop, editor of the local poetry anthology A Pocketful of

Windows, published by Valley Press in 2014.

He said: “A good poem often presents a fresh or striking angle on the world, which is something children and young people can be very good at doing.

“That’s one reason why poetry can be such a powerful learning tool with children and that’s why I’m so happy to be involved in this competition”.

The winning poems will be displayed in tram carriages until Christmas. Amy Bartle of the company explains: “We were inspired by the poems on the London Underground. We wanted to display local poetry and thought it was a great opportunity to get local kids involved. Our most enthusiastic visitors are always the children so we want to share that enthusiasm and encourage more schools to come along for educational visits too”.

Entries should be sent to the Tramway by post or email by 21 September. The winner will be announced on 4 October.

John Butterfield started with stamps issued for peace by New Zealand after the war in 1946. Chris Phillips showed stamps of Palestine and other countries he has visited in the Middle East. Robin Stenhouse displayed stamps commemorating the first and second international polar years, 1882 and 1932. Polar expeditions aimed to make scientific observations and discoveries but were more about survival in treacherous conditions.

Barry Hilton showed covers used at the start of the Penny Post in Victorian Britain.

Before postage stamps were introduced, a cheap prepayment service was started in some areas to overcome corruption and inefficiency in the postal service.

Ted Lunn showed a series of used Victorian picture postcards, mainly caricatures, about Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914), a radical Liberal politician who made a fortune

David and Pamela Hiscock will give a talk at the next meeting, on 4 September.

David Lane spoke about the Ffestiniog railway and the unofficial stamps issued to pay for carriage of items by trains.

The society meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7pm in the library.

Visitors interested in philately will be welcome.

All the latest sport news & reviews Scarborough Athletic commentator, Ant Taylor looks forward to the new season.

You can find him on Twitter @Iamradioant

LOOKING BACK IN THIS months column, with the start of the season already in full flow, I’m taking things back to my first Scarborough FC match. The performance of the team that day may be faded memories, but the electrifying crowd, the smells of the grass and the food coming out of the food hut are all still as strong today.

I still remember my first match it was one of the biggest days of my life. My dad was taking me and my younger brother to a football match, I was going to the old Athletic Ground (McCain Stadium) it was a derby day, Scarborough FC V York City. We were late setting off but my dad put the radio on and we could hear the silky voice of Ivan Ash floating around our little Ford Escort. The match had kicked off, you could hear the crowd cheering as the ref blew his whistle. The sounds were so electric, I could not wait to get there. I told my dad to put his foot down. We weren’t far from the ground about 3 miles away but it just felt like we were traveling without moving.

I heard on the radio, that BORO were putting pressure on our city rivals and we were on the attack. My brother Mally, piped up from the back seat COM’ON DAD GET A MOVE ON! Scarborough were turning the screws, Ivan was keeping us updated on the attack. It all went silent, the ball was in the air, it felt like slow motion. We were not too far now. My dad was trying to park the car but was fixed to the radio. Mr Ash told us the ball had fallen to Scarborough, York can’t clear it and Darren Foreman got the ball, he shoooots……………..

GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL. We were jumping about in the car, my brother fell through the two front seats as he jumped for joy, we were one nil up but not in the ground so my dad realised this and said com’on boys lets go. We jumped out the car and made our way out the Mere Social Club car park, we crossed the road and got our pocket money out ready to pay at the turnstiles.

We were nearly there, we could hear the Seadogs singing their hearts out, I just couldn’t wait to get in there to soak up that atmosphere.

We bought a programme to see who was playing, names like Kyle Lightbourne, Darren Foreman and my hero Tommy Mooney, names which would last with me forever. We found a gap at the barrier near the corner flag on the Seamer road end, the ground was so packed

you could see all the hot air escaping into the autumn air. The subs warming up in their all in one jump suits, stretching and waving to the fans who were cheering them on. Then the worst thing that could happen did, City got a goal back, I was gutted I hung my head. You could see the city fans cheering at the other side of the ground jumping up and down.

Everything else after this is all a blur but all I know is as the sky got darker, the temperature around the ground was heating up.

Scarborough won this match 4-3 and Forman got a hat-trick and Mooney got the forth. I know it felt like one of them classic games like when Viduka scored four goals against Liverpool, it was perfect and I had my head up high walking out the ground, it could have been the coldest night but I felt warm and a tingle all over my body. My senses were being hit by the sights and smells, which when they hit me today, it takes me back to that moment.

Last season moving into our new home really got the passion going again and this season I’m going to be following Scarborough Athletic home and away as much as I can. It is a fantastic way to meet like minded Football crazy people, even if their first love is the team we’re facing that day. If you still haven’t gone down and experienced the Flamingoland Stadium crowd, here are this months fixtures, top tip... midweek games, under the floodlights are the best!

Raising the flags for cricket festival Words and photos by Dave Barry PLAYERS entered the pitch between two big flags at the start of Scarborough's 132nd cricket festival.

One is thought to be the world’s largest Yorkshire flag; the other was a Welcome to Yorkshire banner. Both measured 50 square metres.

They were held up off the ground by children from the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation’s beach tournament.

Other kids waved hand flags and pom-poms as the teams took their positions.

The match was attended by Welcome to Yorkshire’s chief executive, Sir Gary Verity,

who said: “We are proud supporters of the festival. We felt this was a special way to show our support for the Yorkshire cricket team and to honour such an iconic sporting event.

“The festival is one of the most important dates on the cricket calendar and always attracts huge crowds.

“It was fantastic to have children from the beach tournament involved and we hope festivals like this will continue to inspire future generations of Yorkshire cricketers”.

The festival has been held since 1876. Over the years, it has played host to some of the world's greatest cricketers.

Yorkshire were playing Worcestershire in a countychampionship division-one match.

Worcestershire won, inflicting Yorkshire’s fourth defeat in nine and their fifth defeat in the last six fixtures in Scarborough, including the last four in a row. <-- The Worcestershire side walks out between the two flags (to order photos ring 353597)

The championship players EWA GRACZYK won the ladies championship at South Cliff Golf Club in Scarborough.

The championships are the most important competitions in the club calendar, said press secretary Ann Wrigglesworth.

The championship is a scratch competition so everyone plays off zero handicap and a gross score is recorded.

Caroline Woodhouse won the committee cup, which takes handicap into consideration and so is a net score.

In both cases the lowest score wins.

Players wore the colours of the Yorkshire flag for the traditional Yorkshire Day match.

They played in teams of three, with two scores to count on each hole.

In a close-run competition, Sally Waggitt, Carol Hartley and new-to-golf member Christine Wardell came first with 77 points to claim their prize of Yorkshire lavender shower gel.

At the Yorkshire Day game were, L-R, Judy Craft, Ruth Smith, Sandra Massender, captain Kate Owen, Maureen Jamieson and Ann Eley.

Scarborough Review • www.thescarboroughreview.co.uk

FROM THE SIDELINES END OF AN ERA

THIS coming season marks the end of an era, as one of the veterans of local football VIC HOLLINGSWORTH will not be involved in the grass roots game, having decided to retire at the end of last season after more than 40 years involvement as player, coach and manager. One of the most popular characters in Scarborough League football, Vic has won every honour in local soccer, in a 25 year playing career that included spells with clubs such as Alma, South Cliff, Eastfield and Scalby, followed by coaching and managerial roles at FC Aberdeen, Burniston, and for the past ten years, as assistant manager at Edgehill, as well as helping with the Scarborough League rep team.

SATURDAY SHAKE UP

The continued reduction in the number of local teams resulted in the Scarborough & District League dropping to just two divisions for the coming season, the first time since 1965-66 that the league has operated with only two divisions. Five of last season’s teams have left the league, with Flamborough returning to the Driffield League, Ayton Reserves and Filey Town Reserves switching to the Beckett League, and two teams folding, Edgehill 3rds and Old Vic. The only new club to join the League at the AGM was newly formed Eastfield Athletic, while two clubs have changed names, with Commercial becoming Cayton Athletic, and Falsgrave Athletic switching to Eastfield Town.

The line up for the forthcoming season is-

SUNDAY LEAGUE LINE UP

It was two out, one in at the Scarborough Sunday League AGM, with Ayton and Ayton Reserves both resigning from the league, while Cayton Athletic were elected into membership. Two name changes were confirmed, with Radio Scarborough now known as Saints, and Golden Last switching to Eastfield Athletic.

TRIO OF REP GAMES

The District League rep team, managed by Edgehill boss Steve Clegg, played three high profile matches at Scarborough Rugby Club’s Silver Royd ground in the build up to the new season. They began with a 6-0 defeat to Scarborough Athletic, and then lost 6-1 to Bridlington Town, followed by a 4-1 loss to Pickering Town.

HAVING clinched promotion last season, Scarborough Athletic’s Evo Stik League Premier Division campaign is now up and running after a hectic schedule of eleven preseason friendlies to prepare them for life in the higher league. With a number of new signings in the squad, Steve Kittrick’s side began the new campaign with a 1-0 away success at Hednesford Town, courtesy of an early goal from Wayne Brooksby, but then struggled in the next three matches, picking up just 2 picks out of a possible 9, including being held to a 1-1 home draw by local rivals Whitby Town in front of a bumper crowd of 1,976.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE SCARBOROUGH RUFC kicks of Season 201819 on Saturday and their chances in NORTH ONE EAST (N1E) have been dealt a blow by the news that they will lose their inspiration captain Matty Jones who will be returning to New Zealand with his English wife and young family as he has been refused a visa to remain in the UK. The big front row forward has played a massive part on and off the field over the last few years, particularly last season when he led his side to an historic league and Shield double. Adding to coach Simon Smith’s problems is the decision of experienced wingman Harry Domett to call it a day after a couple of serious injuries to spend more time with his young family.

Scarborough RUFC Ltd although a big organization is a community club and is therefore strictly amateur on the playing side; so unlike professional or semi-pro sports clubs they don’t have the option to just go out and sign replacements when players leave or retire. Good stewardship at Silver Royd has seen many of the present squad come through the ranks from the age of seven and hopefully that conveyer belt will continue to function; however once young players get to eighteen they are more than likely to leave for university and therefore I suppose the ‘circle of rugby life’ for a community club is complete.

Scarborough’s pre-season has been going well with big attendances on training nights and a real positive attitude within the squad and games with Hullensians at Silver Royd and Castleford on the road both ended with convincing wins 45-19 and 30-5 respectively.

Newcomers Tom Hicks from Selby and Luke Brown from Whitby have settled in well and it looks as if trialist Alex Cote a French prop will also be joining the club.

All the latest from Scarborough Rugby Club...

BY DAVE CAMPBE LL

So this coming season will be a tough one as the club adjusts to moving from Level 7 to Level 6 which with (N1E) containing several semi-pro outfits is quite a step up. And with three of their first four games on the road it’s going to be a testing September.

And it all kicks off on Saturday when the Seasiders are on the road at Bradford and Bingley RFC. The ‘Bees’ finished last season in the bottom half of N1E but have recruited in the close season under their new coach Kiwi Anthony Posa who has joined the club from Doncaster. Posa has coached in Yorkshire for many years having great success with Scarborough RUFC return to Beverley climbing through the leagues and Doncaster Phoenix. He is also coach of the action on Saturday Yorkshire under-20 squad.

Bridlington is the destination on the 8th of September and is followed on the 15th with the first home game of the season against west Yorkshire outfit Cleckheaton; this game is also part of the club’s charity Ladies Day. A week on and its Huddersfield YMCA on the road on the 22nd followed by the first game against real north-eastern opposition when Northumbrian club Morpeth play their first Skipper Matty Jones coaches Primary ever game at Silver Royd on the 29th.

So a challenging month ahead at senior level School Children at Silver Royd but of course life at Silver Royd is much more than that; Friday the 31st sees the club’s 14th Annual reunion as I reported last month and of course under the tutelage of Youth Development Officer (YDO) James Perret and his coaches, youth, mini and micro-mini rugby training starts on Sunday the 2nd of September.

The coming season will challenge everyone at Scarborough Rugby Club from seniors (who’s going to be the next captain?) all the way to the micro-minis as they start their rugby ‘journey’ and as ever, it’s an exciting prospect.

A stunning sporty five door hatch back is sat waiting for me at S.G. Petch, Monks Cross. Powered by a 1.4 petrol turbo engine and rumoured to have had the design input of the BMW M5 chief designer, it’s looking good.

The car looks sharp and aggressive, relatively low and sporty with a dark air-intake front grille and spoiler. Angled lights offer futuristic appeal, while the alloys are a gun metal grey, accentuated by lowprofile tyres.

The interior is upmarket class: leather seats, headrest and dashboard, complimented with all the latest mod cons including a sat nav display, DAB based in-car entertainment and AUX-in for phones and MP4s.

The driver seat is easily adjustable allowing for a comfortable driving position and provides a sporty snugness. The leather steering wheel adds to the refinement and feels good with all the expected controls present. Indicators and light switches are exactly where they should be.

Excellent visibility comes in the form of a wide view to the left and right making for safer driving. The rear-view mirror is easily adjustable and gives a good view through the back windscreen.

The auto gear lever is nice and chunky with a button on its right to allow for re-positioning. The pedals look sporty and feel light.

POWER ON Turning the ignition on starts the process of lights coming on, the sat nav coming to life and the dashboard display showcasing lots of pertinent information. What surprises me is the silence of the engine. You can’t be sure if it’s actually ticking over when you stop at a junction. The engine is environmentally friendly because it cuts out when you are stationary. It then starts up again once you press the accelerator. This technology still amazes me.

The response of the car, on accelerating, is excellent. There’s little engine noise as it goes through the gears. The turbo feels like it’s kicking in even at these lower revolutions whilst driving in traffic through Huntington and Haxby. It makes for a smooth gear transition with no detectable lag. In fact, acceleration is quick. The brakes are, as with any new car, outstanding and take a little getting used to.

The A64 gives me the opportunity to really open it up, unleashing the roar of the turbo as the higher revs are reached. The ride still feels smooth and the handling exceptional. The car is incredibly responsive, simply going where you point it.

On approaching the numerous roundabouts on the York bypass handling round the corners is firm and self-assured making for a sporty yet safe drive.

IN CONCLUSION All in all, this car is a pleasure to drive. It looks the part and comes with most of the extras you would need to keep you in touch with the modern world.

It also drives well, comfortably and safely allowing you to feel confident behind the wheel. The turbo kicks in when needed and there is no discernible lag when accelerating.

The price for this Kia Ceed 1.4 T GDi Blue Edition DCT 5dr is £22,195 OTR with the range starting at £18,295. This is definitely a car to be seriously considered if you are looking to swap this September. Book a test drive by calling the Kia specialist at S.G Petch on 01904 466600 or simply call in to their showroom on Jockey Lane at Monks Cross in Huntington. You can be assured of a warm and courteous welcome.

The VW T-Roc is described as a ‘head turner’ by the manufacturer and I have to hand it to them: it certainly is. Aggressive looking, boxy with a squared front end that has echoes of the Evoque. It caused cars to slow down and passers-by to stop and take a second glance as we photographed it. The front screen angles back elegantly and the rear a little more upright allowing for a rear side that sticks out a little. The body sits proud atop the standard 17” alloys and begs to be adored with its sporty grille and side foot panels.

This 2.0TDi 4Motion vehicle falls into the SUV [sports utility vehicle] category but with the added bonus of a sportier feel and ride suggesting better and more responsive handling coupled with faster acceleration.

With side foot panels, entering the vehicle is made quite simple, and gives you the feeling that you are stepping into a larger and taller car. The seats are comfortable and can be adjusted to suit. The driving position is standard and allows for good visibility all round. It made pulling out at difficult junctions, such as at the cross roads on Crichton Avenue by the railway bridge, or turning right on Burton Stone Lane onto the top of Bootham to head away from town, far less stressful and much safer. This car was becoming a joy to drive.

It handles like a much smaller car and accelerates through the six-speed gear box very smoothly and quickly. The interior display gives you lots of important information including what gear you are in and what gear to move up to: Clever stuff. The steering is light and responsive and definitely feels sporty when coupled with the acceleration.

There are various driving modes accessed via a rotary dial on the centre console.

Modes include On-road, Offroad, Off-road Individual and Snow.

The interactive touch display is cutting edge technology. You can simply move your hand towards it and it comes on. You can access key information such as the satellite navigation system, in-car entertainment and mobile phone functions as well other mod cons on it.

The display is also utilised for the rear view imaging when reversing. It shows the distance from rear obstacles and various angles allowing you to turn and reverse and pull away without collision. This proved very helpful when conducting a three-point turn on the rather narrow Ratcliffe Street, just off Burton Stone Lane, with cars parked on both sides of the road. It meant I was still aware of the clearance as I moved away and knew I would not clip the car in front of me.

There is plenty of seat space in the rear for three adults and the boot is pretty accommodating too with space for probably 4 sets of golf clubs and a trolley or two.

This car has it all: looks, performance, mod cons and the functionality to give you a safe yet sporty driving experience. Prices start from only £18,995 for the base model rising to £30,775 for the top of the range R Line 2.0TDi 4Motion. The model test driven [2.0TDi 4Motion] is priced at £28,850.

To appreciate the view as you approach it and the view from behind the wheel visit take a trip to JCT600 Volkswagen up at Clifton Moor or call them to book a test drive on 01904 829852. They will even deliver the car to your home or place of work giving a test drive window of 24hours if need be.
